Depressive Anxiety

-
We’ve all heard of it before.
Maybe it struck a chord deep within.
Maybe not.
You can’t really tell anyways.
You’re too numb to internalize anything, anyways.
You register it all at once, or not at all.
You let it build up and consume you.
People around you notice, you remind yourself once more.
Heightened senses make your logic unrecognizable.
You can’t process what’s on your mind.
Your energy becomes disorganized,
An interrupted soul.
Hope becomes a nonexistent entity,
Far beyond your reach anyways.
A source of divinity, you hope will make amends;
Or just drown away, illicitly.

All the inner commotion can sink in and weigh us down heavily, causing us to reevaluate our purpose, our mode of existence and reality. These feelings can easily sti...

Whether it be a sense of powerlessness, or simple anxiety, a sense of control is vital to establishing our grip on life. Some of us resort to religious ideologies, and others resort to criminal activity and affiliations in order to grab a hold of an identity and sense of belongingness. These forms of congregating allows us to be controlled by a leader or an overarching theme. We may ask ourselves, why do we have a burning desire to be led and guided along our own individualized paths? The answer resides in human nature in itself, the need to assert dominance and conquer territory of its own. Throughout the primal periods of existence, our ancestors evolved on the basis of control. Many forms of government and religious figures emerged and sustained their existence by the mere ability to provide a sense of order to a population in disarray. As the saying goes, "history repeats itself...
