stay

catefrances

the only rival i have
shares the skin i'm in
shows it's face
when it knows
i'm weak
my head aching
my skin feeling
like a thousand needles
acupuncture
my heart beats alternate
sometimes it misses
emptiness fills the hole
squeezing out any feeling
left behind
the fight's internal
to stay
to go
peace evades me
i wonder if it didn't
would my mind
forget it's purpose
questioning my every breath
the decisions i make
my ability to find excuses
to stay
the selfishness
i know is inside
that keeps me on the edge
watching the waves
crash onto the rocks below
absolute certainty
i don't have it
if i did
i'd be long gone.

I think we live in an age where anxiety is a problem.

Maybe it's having too many options in a day or maybe it's not having enough to fill up one's time? I'm not sure, but I think it's harder to be sane in this world with too many choices. So people worry. Bouncing back and forth between one thought and another. It makes for a rough time. :(
