Until that day,
I was a depressed boy—
An anxious boy—
Beaten down by my own mind
…

I stepped forward
Putting beside my fear
Into the unknown I went
Two cheeks full of tears
…

Horror, absolute horror, as my arduous state tried to comprehend the madness, for I am not mad, am I?  I do however have
…

A dream- it couldn’t have been
For everything felt so real
And if my eyes were shut
Would not the anxiety be less
…

My hands, they were shaking
My anxiety had beaten me down
I did my best to ignore it
Yet, it knew when I was around
…

“Answer me one thing”, I asked the old man that day…
“What scares you the most?”
“Is it life, or is it death that you fear?”
…

This winters eve, almost two years ago
An unfathomable lady, is a story now told
It was fast and hard, that I did fell
A miracle of nature, her name, Ariel
