The water runs grey.  It seems to run grey forever. I'm watching my life leave me, yet I cannot stand. I'm frozen, my neck at an odd angle, watching the grey waters rise. They crawl steadily forward, and without the means to scream or move or the willingness to pray for salvation I believe I shall die here. I sort of want to laugh, being so young and dying such an old person death. I close my eyes, ready to drown, ready to die. Then I am pulled back, forced to hover on the precipice,  the edge of death and insanity, forever.  And that is anxiety. 

A misanthropic hermit

With a deep love for humanity

Intelligent and level-headed

Blooming with insanity

Really very easygoing

Also stubborn and defiant

Never doing what's expected

Save when pleasantly compliant

Admittedly elitist

Won't abide the high-and-mighty

Dependable, reliable

Capricious, fickle, flighty

Never showing up for parties

Always longing for the ask

Spurns everything inauthentic

Rarely found without a mask

Old-fashioned traditionalist

Technologically devout

Invisible to everybody

Makes a point of standing out

Passionate to make a name

Embraces anonymity

Prepared to die tomorrow

And to live to year infinity

Grounded to reality

While living in a story

This is who I am, world

Unapologetic

(Sorry)

I guess there's a reason why I like the Energizer Bunny so much - you know, the bunny in the ads that keeps on going and going ... I sort of identify with it, much to the chagrin of my family and my fiancee. I have chronic migraines. I have fibromyalgia. I have a ton of work to do and always seem to say "yes" when more comes along, but I push through it and keep going and going ... Everybody yells at me for my choices, even me when I completely stress out from trying to do everything at once. One day, I'm just going to drop if I keep this up, so I've stocked up on plenty of Engergizer batteries to ensure that won't happen. Now if only I could be as cute as that bunny ...
