The struggle within

There are no words that reveal

The confusion I feel.

It's tearing and ripping,

It's smothering and gripping.

So close it consumes me,

So far away it eludes me.

No words to express

This pain and distress.

If only faith could be given or borrowed.

If only hope could be sown in the sorrowed.

Mind be still. Mind be quiet.

Mind control this emotional riot.

Be still. Turn down

The volume of sound.

Peace. Peace.

Find the release.

Let go. Let go.

Heart beating slow.

Deep breath. Exhale.

Anxiety has set sail.

Be gone. Goodbye.

Ah, what a wonderful sigh.

Jesus take over.

My fight is over.
