The beating of the drum
The tidal wave crashing down
The rumbling of the earth’s crumb
Is felt in every heart beat

That thump in your chest
The lost mind can wander
It envelops you in distress
Every detail you ponder

That creeping sense called emotion
It scares you out of your wits
Thinking of what the future holds
Throws all your sensibilities into fits

The thing that is most fearful
Is when anxiety becomes your friend
It becomes your daily companion
The only who can comprehend.

My temper has finally caught up with me
It has finally made my bed
Words that would haunt me endlessly
Would it have been better left unsaid?

Shooting invisible daggers everywhere
As my vocabulary has run dry
Reminded of Atlas, who was bestowed with a curse
In my perspective, so have I

The load has gotten the better of me
Unnoticed, my relationship was falling apart
Into a robotic companionship
The effect of harsh words to heart

Do you still love me?
Yes. But in ways not linked romantically.
The difference between a lover and a friend
Then... have you fallen out of love with me?

Yes.

Now, what?

Amidst the gloom
Amidst the doom
Amidst being a misanthrope
Today, there is a glimpse of hope

A ****** feeling of distress
Extinguishing any glimmer of happiness
Calculating disasters in every way
But not today, today is a better day

Might be fun, might be scary
Heart pounding, echoing through body walls
That feeling of uncertainty
Embracing every fiber of your heart, body, and soul

Time has passed and it won't be returning
Look around, everything is changing
Stopping is not an option; just keep running
But pause. Look around, everything is changing.

A ring around my finger, my children lying in bed
From being a teenager, I am now that parent I once dread
Everything is changing. But there is one solid ground.
To have you by my side, to ease uncertainty's subtle pound.

Pull me down when my heart's soaring in fear
Stand your ground when uncertainty is so clear
Pray hard when you feel that everything is changing fast.
Then pause. Look around. Everything is changing. Fast.
