little things

loneliness,
some people crave it,
they search to be
one with themselves,
to be at peace
and to get away
from the stress
of it all.
but what happens
when being alone
only makes you worse?

anxiety attacks,
they happen
all the time,
and there are others around
that can help you
feel better.
but what happens
when your anxiety attack
hits you at 4 in the morning
when everyone’s asleep?
who do you go to then?

i tried to meditate,
but my heart still races.
simple deep breaths
aren't doing the job.
there’s gotta be ways
to manage it:
can a funny
youtube video
do all the magic?

yeah, that’s better.
a good laugh
was all it took.
sometimes,
the little things
are all i need
to wipe the bad thoughts.

thanks, steve.
