Hazy

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.
