a tree, a swing and a notebook.

whenever i feel the need to write, i go to the one place where i can be safe. where all my secrets are hidden under the roots, and my burdens are held steady by two pieces of rope wrapped around a branch, and a flat piece of driftwood. a place where no-one can touch me. it happens to be a real place, yet as time is always limited i only visit there once a year. as the imagination has no limits, i can go there whenever i choose to. all i need is my tree, my swing and my notebook. oh, and a pen.

anxiety.

Can't sleep

Heart is ticking

Mind, beating

Veins, pulsing

With life, adrenalin

Worry,

ANXIETY

Boom boom boom

Thought after thought after

Endless noise

My own voice

Marching, drumming

Screaming,

Echoing round and round and

Won't stop

It won't stop

Pace quickens and

Breathing faster and

Palms unclean, sticky, sweaty

Always guilty

Need to fight it

Must control it

Push me that way

Pull me this way,

Someone's shaking my cage

Let me out.
