Anxiety's Love Poem
And other cloudy thoughts
Sometimes I wish it was raining, even when the sun is shining.
I wish my mood reflected the weather.
Made it downcast, just like me.
If I feel like crying, why is the sky so blue and
Cloudless?
Sometimes I feel so stuck in my own bubble that
the first stanza actually makes sense.
I am so caught up in the weeds of my own mind to
Realize that the world and the weather,
both don't revolve around me.
Anxiety will do that to you.
Make you feel trapped in a cage that isn't real, a
silly game your brain creates to protect you from everything
except your own thoughts,
which might kill you anyway.
When you're in the cage, the sky might be blue, but the weather
Inside couldn't be more cloudy.
More rainy.
I take a deep breath and hope that the force of it will part the clouds
long enough to enjoy the outside sun from
inside the cage.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Yep anxiety and and other mental health issues can make you feel this way. Yesterday was my first time outside standing in the sun in a long time. It actually felt good ( I only did it because of my sister pushed me , she’s worried about my low vitamin D). But I don't think I would go by myself. Anyway, this poem was very relatable. And so well written.
