pent-up angst

 



lately haven't been giving off the brightest energy

and patient enough to listen to her 

give enough silence to calm the chaos 

reflect on the angst, smooth it out 


give it time and you shall see, underneath all the fog 

re-center and gain clarity 

breathe it all out, don't thrash about 

face it all internally

Our world is so distracted in the surviving part. Just passing by. Just paying the rent. Just finding work. Even things that appear to be free are not. Passion is masked by want to succeed. Authenticity masked by the people we are meant to be. Ambition is thought to be admirable in western culture, why? Selflessness is thought to be ...
