Languish in Anguish New age placing mental issues on a grand stage, Anxiety levels rise as if there is a hidden prize Not to downplay those truly astray, arm chair doctoring without proctoring is an open diagnosis No matter what we are taken to task, when hearing answers for questions we never ask unforeseen mysteries arise Sunshine dull, life in a lull, like a boat facing storms with a paper hull, misguided information leads to neurosis Imagined stress now duress, self-inflicted perjury, childhood time out takes a new route, too much for a biased mind to analyze Do we have the might to resist this minor parasite? simple anguish easy to extinguish,new weight to great when lives are out of focus No disgrace in finding one's own pace, caught in a flurry brings unknown worry, finding unchecked wisdom can often paralyze Introspection can show our soul for closer inspection, mind's eye left open to contemplate, change not always a bad prognosis No one at fault as if new labels being drawn from a mystical vault, real or imagined concerns often too much if we generalize Tainted memories can often hemorrhage left alone become extra baggage, without guidance we often become our toughest opponents Life doesn't always need deeper reason, inner truth not always personal treason, simple songs are still fine to harmonize Current state not always something to contemplate,  many levels of a mental issue real or imagined should not leave us to languish in anguish, happiness not forever hopeless R.C

Languish In Anguish
Languish in Anguish New age placing mental issues on a grand stage, Anxiety levels rise as if there is a hidden prize Not to downplay those truly astray, arm chair doctoring without proctoring is an open diagnosis No matter what we are taken to task, when hearing answers for questions we never ask unforeseen mysteries arise Sunshine dull, life in a lull, like a boat facing storms with a paper hull, misguided information leads to neurosis Imagined stress now duress, self-inflicted perjury, childhood time out takes a new route, too much for a biased mind to analyze Do we have the might to resist this minor parasite? simple anguish easy to extinguish,new weight to great when lives are out of focus No disgrace in finding one's own pace, caught in a flurry brings unknown worry, finding unchecked wisdom can often paralyze Introspection can show our soul for closer inspection, mind's eye left open to contemplate, change not always a bad prognosis No one at fault as if new labels being drawn from a mystical vault, real or imagined concerns often too much if we generalize Tainted memories can often hemorrhage left alone become extra baggage, without guidance we often become our toughest opponents Life doesn't always need deeper reason, inner truth not always personal treason, simple songs are still fine to harmonize Current state not always something to contemplate,  many levels of a mental issue real or imagined should not leave us to languish in anguish, happiness not forever hopeless R.C
Original thoughts or true meanings of how many might be finding a problem that was never there, even purposely looking at a sort of match game over analyzing "normal" life issues,certainly not new but now is promoted and often hidden in advertisements and media. It also opens another level of certain mindsets like "doomscrolling" that feeds a negative mindset. Thanks for reading I appreciate your thoughts. "Peace Takes Practice". Rick
