Anxiety! Climb! - What happened?
Anxiety! Climb! - What happened?
So far, nothing, but I dreamed something, and what
- I do not remember
I remember that it was a dream, I ran somewhere,
I do not remember where and why this run
And still I know so many things on the horizon
As if someone broke into my dream,
And whispered, leaning in the darkness to my mind,
As if someone's footsteps were heard
From where obviously a person cannot pass
Our train hasn’t been going anywhere for a long time,
It’s a thundering road rushing underneath
Deliver me, for God's sake, from this feeling,
which we call anxiety
Anxiety! Climb! - What happened?
So far, nothing, but I dreamed something, and what
- I do not know yet
I know it was a dream, I wanted to tell you,
but now I do not remember what,
as if flashing one mirror -
Those in which I then appear and disappear,
and I know that everyone who sees herself in the mirror,
She does not know that it has nothing to do with it
Anxiety! Climb! - What happened?
So far, nothing, but I dreamed something, and what
- I will forget
I will walk from corner to corner all day,
I will walk from corner to corner all day and remember
Things are scattered everywhere,
Books are scattered everywhere into words and letters,
I dreamed that I was walking without an umbrella,
Barefoot, in the rain, cursing a cold on the move
And time goes on, and the rain continues to fall,
And I continue to walk
So far, nothing, but I dreamed something, and what
- I do not remember
I remember that it was a dream, I ran somewhere,
I do not remember where and why this run
And still I know so many things on the horizon
As if someone broke into my dream,
And whispered, leaning in the darkness to my mind,
As if someone's footsteps were heard
From where obviously a person cannot pass
Our train hasn’t been going anywhere for a long time,
It’s a thundering road rushing underneath
Deliver me, for God's sake, from this feeling,
which we call anxiety

Anxiety is a terrible feeling which I am very familiar with... I hope your anxiety lessons and that you feel better soon. This was very interesting to read, and that part where you said someone broke into your dream reminds me of the movie Inception. The repeated verse anxiety climb really solidifies the feeling of discomfort, and was an interesting embellishment to the poem. Overall, very good! Keep up the riding, Kristina. Perhaps you will conquer your anxiety someday ❤️

Wow, this is such a compelling read. The repetition really conveys that frustrating feeling of a dream or memory just out of reach, a word on the tip of the tongue...
There's so much anxiety everywhere these days. We are, indeed, without an umbrella in this shitstorm of 2020. Wishing you well...

Brava, Kristina❣❣ This is a perfect storm of anxious thought. It's as if you recorded them as you were experiencing them. I identify closely with the stanza beginning with "Our train..." And especially this urgent plea. "Deliver me, for God's sake, from this feeling,
which we call anxiety." The way you describe pacing is spot on as well. You're awesome, BD❣❣

Thanks Daniel, I am glad you liked it. I have not been happy with most of my writing lately, along with dealing with other stuff, so I just haven't been posting much but maybe I will a little more.

Anxiety... I know her well.
Take a deep breath
Find the ocean in your mind
Embrace the sunrise
Find comfort in the waves
Let your soul shine
Tranquility you will surely find

Thanks for the beautiful comment buddydog, I really like that a lot. You could easily make that into a longer poem (and should). :)

Ms. Kristina, thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece. I think it speaks to a lot of folks who have been experiencing this, especially now more than ever during this pandemic. Hopefully things get easier.
"I dreamed that I was walking without an umbrella,
Barefoot, in the rain, cursing a cold on the move"... many folks will have their interpretation but I think it goes without saying at how vulnerable and intense dreams can be in vivid images like this.
It's beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing.
