I threw a stone
into still waters,
ripples circled wide,
emotions within
ironically came
to the surface;
awakening
aching heart,
blue jay squawked,
perched in tall pine;
It&#39;s the nature of things.
I thought I heard
someone say;
&amp;nbsp; &quot; keep going,
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s only around
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the bend.&quot;

Resistance&amp;nbsp;



Resistance brings anxiety.&amp;nbsp;

Anxiety brings confusion.

Insidious it seems,

In my head I realize;

I am creating this tormoil;
I&#39;m my own keeper,
I have the keys;
To set myself free
The battle in my head,
It makes no sense to me;
I&#39;m at war with myself,
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Confusing.
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;
