anxiety repair

anxiety can come to rock you
deep in your chest
with "what if.. and what if just..."
What if no!
and What if yes?!

you want it clear like black and white
you want it paved and "there you are"
it can feel like a balance beam
when the places to go seem so far

you want it spelled out easily
the path on the right is clearly the one for me
or is it?
sometimes we just don't know everything
and we go about moving forward anyway
even while still figuring it out along the way

oh uncertainty stings
for the big important things
but it is a part of life
worth accepting

how do we do it?
when anxiety hits?

We let it sit

we know it's there
it's uncomfortable, we are aware
acknowledge what's scary
about this moment right here

and then, get back to living 

we have a life that keeps moving, my dear
and we can get through the unpredictable times that we share
