Anxiety Days

It's a push and pull day.
The kind when a mind
knows what it "must do" and
the body pulls you back.

The positives
get replaced with negatives
and the pounding begins...
Heartthoughts, aches, pains,
wants, needs...
all jumbling together,
making progress
a slow start.

There is a corner to turn,
where the air is fresh
and thoughts are once again free
if only the control
was in my hands.

M

You have captured exactly how I am feeling and doing today!  My mind and hands wish to take me into two different directions. Mercy!

Enjoyed this, especially since I can so relate.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

I wrote a poem once that said pushing and pulling only leads to stretch marks

Hello Maureen~
This sounds like my biggest fear,
loss of control.
Excellent write~Nancy

I know Nancy, isn't it terrible at our ages to have those feelings. I still haven't left the house today and all I need to do is go to the bank and then order a new refrigerator...and I keep putting it off.

And tomorrow I will be fine.

I hope all is well with your husband..I haven't read anything new yet.

...likely everyone can (ultimately) 'relate'
   to this most fine and direct 'write'!

I am grandly fond of:

"There is a corner to turn,
where the air is fresh
and thoughts are once again free..."

sustained applause!!

Thanks Bruce... some days are just harder than others

Karilea,  geezzz I was  trying not to think about school again yet. All I hear about on tv and radio is the summer is almost over, yet school has only been out for one month and there is still another month before it starts  again.

Superbly done M...Short...but so truthful in
it painting upon your emotional canvas.
