Blue pill

Sometimes it's what's needed..

I am not one to thank where it is not due,

thank you, blue

My racing thoughts were faster than a speeding car,

you calmed my mind that started with fiery stars.

Now my heart is a burning desire,

this racing car got a flat tire.

Put to a halt, I can finally stop.

Thank you, blue

I am not one to thank where it is not due.

You do not taste so bad with a cup of water,

you are worth the hard swallow.

I didn't imagine you in my future,

why do you think i'm not listening to those rumors,

that destruction is your suitor.

Seeing the world with anxiety,

is a travesty.

Holding you in my hand is what I have to do,

so I bow down and bid adieu.

Those words dig at one's sad memories, been there not too long ago, maybe still am. That is precisely how it feels, gratitude to the blue for doing what nothing else could. I like just how you go about revealing details, Natalie, neat neat work. And the words you choose too!

reminds me of an old Stones' song...


"mother's little helper"---sometimes we need something to calm us down...

very well expressed here...terrific use of metaphor.

Seeing the world with anxiety,
is a travesty.
Holding you in my hand is what I have to do,
so I bow down and bid adieu.

We need to accept that we need some help to stay afloat sometimes. Another very contemplative poem! Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes a sensitive soul just wants to slow down the world or hear peace within for a while, I understand this sentiment, love n light to you :)

The mind is weight on a gas pedal with infinite fuel. It's scary when we pump the brakes and you don't slow down. Good thing we have manufactured our own parking brakes to do what nature can't stop. Nice to have a "just in case".

I enjoyed your write. Thanks for sharing.
