Ode to anxiety

by Marky

Oh what a task befalls this poet's write: What ode for this a darkness of my mind? Without no form unless my weary sight How could my words of praise to disease bind? Suppose this state is half to full and hence: My dark companion seems a loyal friend; As much as thickened clouds to summer's sense As thought umbrellas block a healthy end. And too with generousity I give The praise: devotion, to the dreadful cause; That fear owns life and in that fear to live And breathe so happiness does not gift pause, But here I pause in ink's defiant line: Go back to hell oh devil, far from mine.
