Dealing With It
by
Robert Cameron Hazelton
As in times past when uncertainty’s reigned
A motionless feeling sets into my brain.
Quickly it hardens, a persistent affliction,
Sapping the strength of desires and convictions.
Darkness and dissent hold sway for some time,
Encroaching, entwining, dominating my mind.
Deep thought is essential to deter this oppression,
Without stimulation, I flirt with submission.
Through vigorous activity, and fresh sensations
I begin my ascent from the depths of desolation.
Eventually freedom shines down like the sun,
And it seems that my problem is finally done.
