My Own Silence Paints

Talk about anxiety

My silence escapes me and paints a field so dim. 

Hear your fears on the canvass, see an overcoming darkness,

I'm living in a hole which fear has summoned to draw.

Worried futures abound, inability to move surrounds my horn,

I'm caught in my own silence, the worry painting a storm!

Thanks so much. I was struggling with post op knee replacement. Ah! The hard work and no improvement drove me crazy.

This faintly reminds me of a panic attack. The imagery is strong and with just a stanza you managed to convey so much. Beautifully written, right from the first word to the last exclamation.

I struggled with anxiety when I lost my grandmother and sister within 4 months of each other. I didn't think I was going to make it. I sat on the plane coming home, and put the lap tray down in front of me. I pulled my wallet from my purse, and literally dumped everything out of it...just to help me focus on something! My fears overwhelmed me, but I got help, and here I am to talk about it.

You are so wonderful, Alfred. You are a kind and compassionate soul. Is it any wonder why Jackson & Honey are so lucky to have you?

I'm sending you hugs and warm wishes...take care of yourself, my friend. We have all the joy of the holidays coming, to share!

i agree with Frieda about the painting outside the lines...but i agree, we paint our fears an inch thick and then become a silent canvass of worry...
there is always a storm coming...and we just are too anxious to say one word...
and i am not sure things are ever going to get better...it just may get darker.

You'll give yourself a coronary painting those hues....I love how you painted outside the lines so dark and boldly here....
