Not Too Good Today
Not too good today.
Just sort of making my way.
Anxiety is a sentence,
and I have many to say.
Not too calm today.
There are things that feel hard to mention,
and the anxiety causes a constant tension.
But I cling on.
My nerves need to be reset.
Not too good today.
Just my thoughts, just my mind,
as ever they race.
I am always a step away
from packing my own case.
The one I need for my imagination,
to take me to a more imaginative place.
Not too good today.
But this is our life.
And these are the hurdles we must face.
James Garratt – March 2025
