The Struggle

Feelings emerge

With a surge

Of raw power

Threatening to devour

My very lifeforce

The source

Of well-being

I stay without fleeing

And hold myself dear

Trembling in fear

Awaiting the moment to pass by

Like clouds in the sky

That come and then go

Yet feelings are so powerful

I feel like a hostage

Held against my will

Emotions that make me ill

The days

That slip and get away

Anxiety so heavy

Threatens to break the levy

Stuck in my head

Laying in bed

With a box of tissues

Mental issues

That plague my soul

Longing to grow

But weary

Days seem dark and dreary

Time goes by slow

Staring out the window

All I can do is wait

For this feeling to dissipate
