Am I complicating things in my mind?
Or are they just complicated?
Am I fortune telling –
And creating tales within that could be true –
To scare myself into madness?
Where did my mind go?
Why did it shift?
I feel no excitement.
I feel adrift.
Why did my mood shift?
What made it change?
Where did it come from?
How can I rearrange -
The chemicals in my brain -
Through thoughts and no more.
Where is my peace, tranquillity and effortlessness?
My bond with the universe to trust myself –
My natural instinct.
A fight of a lion, the delicacy of a small cat.
Can I make the wind blow?
And the rain stop in its tracks.
Be connected to the sunshine –
And help it travel across the map.
Am I a complex thinker?
Or is life just complex?
Do I have a deeper connection with the universe?
To understand each and every way it can turn.
Or is this just anxiety,
Playing games in my mind.
Fucking up my head, my relationships and my time.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
