Anxiety

You ever try to go to sleep with the world on your shoulders, to not sleep one sound bit tired and scorned…

To head out the door thinking this could be my last chance to make a difference, my final moment to risk everything…

You come home, in fear of an eviction notice on your door, to going back to living out my car and in a shelter once more…

To feel your motivation for an education is being snatched away because you are not financially secure and you’re begging from Peter and Paul to pay Saul…

Ever been scared that things could just finally go right, seeing the light in the mist of the fight, to be closer to your victory and have it all snatched away from under feet…

When you’ve cried more tears of a clown, afraid this time you may just drown and your smiles are turned into a frowns because this life really can get you down….

Ever been timid and untamed to touch because people who you’ve trust kept coming up short and the lied to you and left you in the dirt and dust…

Ever wondered when the tide will shift for me, bringing me in from the shifting seas into a port of silence, no stress and shear relief…

Waking up worried about your family and trading your life for theirs and not going off to college and gain knowledge of your unlimited potential and possibilities…

Saying when I wake up tomorrow, I wonder what’s the really interesting, inspiring, and uplifting experience waiting for me, to shape my day, take my strain off and blow my breath away…

Who’ll be my helper sending up flairs, ribbons and fortunes unknown to my naked eyes that refuse to drown in a sea of no sir there’s nothing we can do to better serve and protect you…

So you take to your pad with your pen, pencils and ink, to write the words in your heart pouring like the kitchen sink, running over in overflow because you know your dreams all a glow…

Shining rays of light across the universe from your Creator pouring out his visions upon you searching for your ship to come in….
