Shadows Into Light

Stressed

I am standing over a pit,

a pit full of anxiety,

fear,

and stress.

I have ventured into that pit before.

I slipped once in there

but I bounced back.

I was happy.

Not now.

Now I am standing over the same pit,

I feel myself losing my balance.

I might tumble back

into the darkness.

How do I stop this?

Can I get back out?

Will this fall be as bad as last time?

Unanswered questions swim in my mind.

With no answers I feel anxious,

fear,

and mostly stressed.
