Set Me Free
A poem about struggling with anxious thoughts
Published in
Nov 12, 2020
I feel faint
from the questions in my mind
A distorted mirror
gives me confusing answers
Gripped by fear
that I’m lying to myself
nausea comes because
I can’t stomach it all
Thoughts of not
being true to myself
torments me in a way
that makes me want to run
But the truth could be
that the inner guidance is off
based on a compass
that has been corrupted
Vacillating between
the two possibilities
my mind is dizzy
I feel faint
Hoping to find
a resolution
that gives me relief
and puts me at ease
Looking for the answer
to unload this weight
and for the truth
that will set me free.
