The earth beneath my feet
Thrums with her heart beat
The tree branches sway
With the changing day
Hiding scars of days past
As did the last
When will you learn of past mistake?
Of avoiding demons come to take
Last few strands of sanity hanging on for my own sake.
After years of safe lies to yourself
Can you face your ownself
With courage for the next day?
To keep them at bay
To fight for my own rationality
For my memories have taken my reality
I wrote this with my anxiety in mind, I've often had times where certain events and people were so difficult to deal with and would make me feel so anxious I would simply avoid dealing with it and processing it. This is my interpretation of this. I also wrote this while sipping chamomile tea and sitting in a nice comfy chair while the rain came down.
