Pain makes me seek a refuge

Internal Canvas
“My generalised anxiety, a raced heartbeat,
I think I lose control as the shortened breath kicks in,
boom boom boom, I carefully take this seat
hearts coming right out my chest, it tightens, breathe. Breathe in, hold it… now breathe out,
Get up dip your face with a cold splash
It slowly expelling floods of doubt.
Wow so easily exhausted
I can’t wait to go to bed
I wonder, how many times this has costed,
Me and my fragile fragmented head
Let’s relieve anxiety and release some of those tedious tensions,
Visualise the internal canvas of your mind,
And create an own personalised sanctuary, shrined relax and remedy, peace finally do I have your attention?
Generalised anxiety. I wanna go to a place elsewhere Gravity is centred and I can feel the breeze going through my hair
I can sit in fields of solitude and find myself zen
Where did I put notebook and pen?
May I find the gods and I’ll say amen.
Ill smell the red roses rare
In my feelings of dread and despair
I make delicate dainty daisy chains, linking each stem so seemingly
The rash of irritable trepidation
Celestially clears, allowing the room to unveil beauty
Taking sacred steps forward never back, mindful meditation,
Simplicity and Escapism.”
