the last year
has taught me so much
about
fear and anxiety of
past and future
and i have come
to the conclusion
that there
is very little
that happens
in one’s life
that warrants
spending
any time in
either state.
if ninety nine
percent
of all fears and
anxieties
just do not happen
logic would
suggest giving them up!
but oh no! not we humans
we convince ourselves
that this time it’s different
this time its real
we scratch and scratch
until we bleed
and then we cry
over the wound.
we cannot help it
we torment ourselves
and blame everything else
it is a joke
how seriously we take
ourselves.
awakening from the tormenter
is the only path to peace.
