I Try To Keep Calm
/Sitting all parched in distant weather,
My hunger punches against me.
I feel my anxiety crawling under my skin,
I try to keep calm.
I feel like a bag filled with stones,
My heart as heavy as a rock,
As cold as ice.
I try to keep calm.
For how long will this misery prevail?
My thoughts have taken over me,
My soul thirsts to be free.
I try to keep calm.
I attempt to escape reality.
These outrageous thoughts,
Make happiness a memory that I can’t revive.
Yet, I try to keep calm.
In my mind, a disaster of thoughts,
In my soul, a profound fear of failure.
And I worry that this calmness is the one,
That comes before a storm.
