Terrified no more
(Just slightly anxious)
Sunlight
Does the anxiety-wracked body good
(Calms the nerves a bit)
Into my depths of black
Glowing serenity spins
(I think I mean you)

Down
A long, long way down
Memories like a well
Leagues under the soil
History knows no bottom
I’ve seen the roots
Watered them with my tears
I’ve risen with them from the dirt
I know my origins
The place of my birth
My coming of age
Not of physicality
But of self and worth
You were there
Watering the soil I lay under
Pulling me to push through
Into a brighter, warmer world
I’m always down
For you
Beyond
There’s comfort in familiarity
That is deceiving
There’s joy in nostalgia
That is entrapping
I’m a particle in a wave
That will move beyond it all
Distance
You may be distant
But you aren’t pointless
Detachment is a symptom
Of a beautiful soul
Writing
You write about lost love
I write about dying friendships
And chaotic nerves
Dive
Take a dive
Immerse yourself in art and expression
Floating gently
In the human soul
Entryways and Exits
Balancing
Between panic and panic
Just beyond reach
Crystalline portals
To new worlds
Beyond this one
Of heart rates and clenching
They take the forms
Of night skies
Dancing fields
Miniature hands
Shooting stars
Freckles faces
Celestial sounds
Always visible
Always audible
Always unattainable
Both escape and entrapment
Entryways and exits
Gingerly
There is a fine line
Between trudging wearily
And walking lightly
I’ve danced back and forth
Across that line
Anxiety will do that to a person
In a moment
The tide can turn
From fear to elation
From panic to relief
Back again
In spite of my body
My emotions dance gingerly
Atop the nerves
