Into the Storm
An Analogy of an Anxiety Attack
Foreboding sky
Surging gusts
Rising downpours
Into the storm
Fear
*
Coldness
Torrential rains
Raging winds
Into the storm
Pain
*
Dark clouds
Thunder claps
Violent mood
Into the storm
Anger
*
Electric charge
Savage rage
Turbulence
Into the storm
Fury
*
Deep breath
Receding gales
Passing squall
Out of the storm
Rest
*
Distant Rumbles
Decreasing angst
Blessed silence
Out of the storm
Into the calm
Peace

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
