There they are standing in the world
Those twelve
Attachments grasping addictions
Stuck with mental illusions
Anger comes along
Addictions not working well today
Anxiety arises mixed with anger
Will addictive fix happen today?
It did not
Depression darkness
Now governs that mind
Got to change it with some junk food
Then again I don’t like it
What do I like?
Ah!
Where is my cell phone?
Need to get some clicks and likes today
Yes they are good today
Got to hold them close
More clicks as I lay in bed
Shock!
That click devastated me
My addictions buddy
Is leaving town
Grief pierces my heart
Mind races
Insomnia shows up
As my grief burdened companion
Loneliness takes hold
As friend leaves town
To deal with his far away sister
Hit by pandemic, no job, sick and anxiety stricken
Sister wrestling with her stressors
So am I
Got to find that special substance
To sustain me through this time
What sustenance is this?
Mind traumatised by life.
