Short Tales:Poems 2

Adulthood

You bring with you a constant, ever present stream of anxiety.
Make me doubt myself in areas where I never would before.
This heart wrenching uncertainty makes me not want to be here anymore.
Can I reverse the time?
Can I go back to the moments when I'd let all this pass me by?
Can I get rid of you, get someone to do this all in my place?
I'm not so sure I want to do this anymore, be strong anymore, dive head in anymore.
I want to go back into the cocoon of youthfulness,swaddled in ignorance and bliss.
How can I let go without losing it all?
I'll probably lose it all anyway, as my sanity slips by each day.
I wonder when the time will come when the last strand holding me together snaps and I fall into the deep abyss.
