There are times when
I can't control my emotions.
I am overcome by anxiety
to the point that I can't
even think straight.
My mind gets into a fog;
my eyes blurry with fear.
Everything becomes hazy,
and I can't see beyond
my own defeating thoughts.
Nothing seems to lift
me out of this temperment.
I try to focus elsewhere
or turn to a friend,
but the mood remains.
Usually the only thing
that helps is a new day.
I woke up this morning,
and it felt like yesterday
never happened.
