It’s a quiet kind of anxious, nothing sharp, nothing loud, Just a whisper in the background thinking way too proud. No fires left to put out, no deadlines chasing me, Just a room full of stillness and a mind that won’t agree. I’m alone with the silence, but it won’t sit still, Like it’s searching for a problem just to prove that it will. All the back-burner worries start to hum soft and low, Strange how nothing is wrong, but it won’t let me go. They say I don’t know resting, don’t know how to just be, Without reaching for a reason, without needing to see. If I loosen my grip, would the feeling pass through? Or just echo in the quiet like it always seems to do?
