Anxiety Falls

Tunnel Vision

My favorite type of tree, found in Hawai'i
       is at Lava Tree State Park.
It allows my tunnel vision a swim above my own.

If you must have tunnel vision
      always keep it up.
Keep it above yourself
      or your emotions will devour.

Or maybe that's just me
      but I'm not foolish to think my own.
I'm not above doing the worst things that another does.

I'm not above the rest, but my thinking evolved
      somewhere my chaos took a vital turn.

Busy looking left and right, never in between
      don't just me because I am honest, in accepting my disease.

My affliction is not one label
      it's a mixture of it all
            everyone has a right to live in fear
                  anxiety massively diagnosed.

So, in a world where fear prevails
      we each can claim fright
            PTSD touches us differently
                  no one thing is a cause.

From looking around to sifting within
      allowed a shift in tides, I barely could handle it.

I felt torn between two worlds, the flesh and vibrational stream
      from feeling not a part of this world to digging in deep.

There, I said it I didn't want to be here
      and it isn't a finished product
           but what it is, is a perfect dream
                  my problems are another's cake walk.

My tunnel vision readjusts when I find time for this tree that stands
      it lets me know that anything is possible
          this silhouette testifies it.

Long after its last breaths, from life to mulch
      a tunnel pointed to the sky
             providing much needed True growth.
