punching bags and therapy

you'll never know what you did to me

cause all i ever seem to dream

is something besides harmony

a phone passcode

an aging foe

who wants to live a fantasy

conversations never had

still written in love and all that jazz

The Anxious Elderly I Never Saw Coming

When we think about pinning the label 'anxious' on someone, there's a very generic character that will come to mind almost immediately. Whether that image comes about through the conditioning that has been placed upon us by society or through the lack of information and understanding around mental illness that is still present in our society but one will suggest it was through no fault of their own, we all see this character. You've already picked the gender, she's a female with the assumed pronouns of she/her without the question being asked. She's an adult, not yet old enough to be considered 'ready to make her own life changing decisions in life', but makes the decisions for a national company under the guise of the boss she works for because this woman can't remember what she wrote in an email thread she's got open right in front of her.  There's the smell of a fresh haircut lingering as she walks by and you're eyeing her bangs wonder...

I was a child with potential who was not built for the grey area that much of adult life brings. so when my feet were itching for a course that made me 'feel' something like journalism did, the number of changing emotions was not something I could handle at that point in ...
