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.”_
