Go Outside (poem)
I struggle through this moment
Reasons letting go
Days I’d come to know
Past the normal flow
-
Wondering to go outside
To the weather waiting there
Past the safety of my den
And familiarity
-
What purpose would I serve there
Wasn’t it enough
Things I had to tough
Gathering my fluff
-
What brought me here after all
To the comfort of my mold
Isn’t this the perfection
Others often offer out
-
Yet struggle burning still
What medication
Will bring frustration
Back to foundation
-
Let’s see as we go outside
Greeting the dreams which others won’t dare
Meeting ideas in dark hiding spots
Cheating all those which like things the same
Beating is heart at something so wrong

In this crazy world I know quite few people who live on pills to calm the nerves. I fight every day to let it not happen to me because I am an anxiety or panic attack survivor.
An amazing, powerful piece you have here Martin, that talks about fights where strength would most count.
A physical as well as emotional fight; a plethora of medication to ease the
turmoil which resides inside.
A representation of spiritual lethargy and a tangled web of emotional
pain is brought into the spotlight.
Well done, Martin!
Very interesting...some sinister and dark about this. Nicely done!
Wow, Mh, very interesting and powerful as to inner turmoil for whatever reasons. I say, yes, go out into the world and take a breath of life!
Up and more and sharing
Hugs,
