I’m not a poet but allow me to try
To use my pen and explain why
See I set out in a journey to instill truth
Sharing my struggles, and or pain of my youth
AXIETY, stress and worry do not discriminate you see
It knows no race, gender and or ethnicity
To what extent you struggle is unknown
It may be colored differently , a lighter shade or tone
What I do know is we have mechanisms to combat this invisible disease
Some find comfort in food, sex or alcohol to run or simply flee
Even if for a moment, the stress melts away
By the tool that you medicate with to make it okay
I do not need a psychological degree, it simple mechanics
When a brain goes into overdrive, it begins to panic
Where do you go to find your release
Is it a place or something that will cause more grief
What if I told you of a place you could stay
A place to cone undone when you are not okay
What if I told you it’s a place free from analytics
Would you show your face disregarding politics?
Where is this place she is describing you ask yourself?
A place not of this earth, but eternal wealth
This place is my home, it’s the prescense of my lord
That place where I run when feeling insecure
The same place where I can stand and completely be myself
A place to come unglued, a shield for my mental health
When anxiety kicks in, I flee and go
Into the arms of where I begin, precious overflow
Crying out God where are you? I cant see or hear
I trust in your word that says you are near
Near to those crushed in spirit and the broken hearted
This is where I go, for this is where I started
We all have our fight and flight mechanisms in that we are unique
Anxiety and stress don’t discriminate, have you developed your technique
Of how you will respond when it begins to well up
Giving you resiliency and grace, and for today it is enough
It’s what we are called to do, live in our today!
For grace is not there for the future, anxiety is cast away
Live in the now, the present is a gift
As you begin to do this anxiety will lift
If we dwell in the future of which we have no control
It creates stress, worry and confusion robbing our soul
I encourage you today to look deep within
Developing a strategy where wholeness can begin
IN DEEP WATERS
