The Human Experience
Written + Illustrated by Briana Leigh
Fight or flight
Wrong or right
Anxiety has us all up at night.
Searching for meaning
In a world seemingly fleeting.
Hate becoming consistent
We argue with one another to sooth our existence.
To back our distortions.
The chains that keep us contorted.
Limited in our pursuit of self.
We allow the external to invade.
Infect the mind.
Complacent in our sights.
We must be renewed.
We must set ourselves free
From the daunting reality that be.
Leave all expectations at the gate
Learning to love in such a state
It’s much too tough for some to bear.
We must not give into despair.
We must open ourselves to the light
Remembering there’s truly no wrong or right.
A human construct felt by many.
Love is the medicine to bring us back to harmony.
