There are no voices,
Calling out to be heard,
No confliction of emotions,
Stalling my life progress,
And yet I stall anyway.
It is a foreign state of flux,
Scary not hearing them,
I find myself listening,
Waiting for them to return,
But they’ve fallen silent.
They were a source of comfort,
Whilst also being my curse,
My anxiety has now been displaced,
From them being to now not,
All because of a little white pill.

Thank you. I don’t pretend to know all the nuances of anxiety, but I’ve listened, observed and experienced aspects of it.

Observing and experiencing this dark emotion itself does a lot to a mind.
Your words said that deeply!

The mind is a curious thing, capable of creating such fabulous creations, but also fragile to dark thoughts.

True, but I would believe that something beautiful could manifest itself in the darkness, to then blossom in the light.

That’s a positive thought that even I would second on.
What I see it this mind having both the things, a side of negativity and another side of beautiful manifestations!

We need the negativity, for it keeps us grounded. Beautiful manifestations, now that’s an endearing concept.

My mind is caged with both the emotions as you must have seen through my writings.
I somehow love the dark side, strange yet true.

You must embrace the pull on your creative strings. Dance to whichever marionette plays them the most.
