“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”

My mind is a wasteland,
Ravaged by worry,
Consumed by anxiety.

It’s crumbling
From the inside out,
Crooked, twisted trees,
Rise from the ashy landscape,
Inside my mind.

I am drowning
In the tumultuous ocean
Of my thoughts.

Soon, I will slip
Beneath the surface,
Vanish beneath the crashing waves
Of chaos.
They’ll never know
