Anxiety's Hold

Even the greatest moments, calmest actions, most peaceful energy, would be unable to tear it off once it sticks

it winds you up for everything and causes one to just pace instead

Eyes get dizzy from observation of another's and can assimilate the same hold

Tension continues to escalate and bottling it up only makes the explosion imminent

No one likes it

Some look to escape through things that actually increase it

An insanity I've dealt with and still resisting

Depravity of vice while the resuscitation of life simultaneously reacts from one thought and act of will

It's hell to deal with

I think the void between two lives would be more difficult than this

At least then you could be fascinated by the new journey

Than to continue the same and battle the duality of choosing a side

Or dealing with human ordeals such as quitting smoking or relationships

Decisions can create a hold on you, but when it's out of nowhere....

The confusion continues the hold
