Someone on Twitter decided it was National Poetry Day; I can't find credible sources to support this. But, I thought I'd share a few Haiku poems anyway. I wrote a few when I was feeling anxious and was too afraid to ask a friend to listen and guide me out of the dark a few weeks back.
One of the major struggles I have with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) is that asking for someone to help me with a situation or just a friend when I'm down is a battle, a constant fear. It takes time to just build the courage to even ask. It's not about the shame I have for admitting I have a problem; I ask for help on a daily basis at work when I'm in a rut or don't have an answer.
Trapped, lonely, and sad.
I just need you... or you, now--
but never say so.
Hey, don't ignore mercy or you'll be 'the last to know.'

I've been listening to Fierce Mercy every day since the first show I attended last week. I didn't listen to the album more than twice prior because I wanted to get familiar with the songs through hearing them live first; there's something about hearing an unfamiliar track in this setting. Not only is live music authentic, but you naturally allow yourself to block out your surrounds and be one with the artist and tune. Example: when I saw Colin in 2015 showcasing his album, Next Year People, "Waiting in the Rain" was an out-of-body experience because I still didn't know the song in its entirety and I let it take over me in that moment. It's to-date in my top 5 best Colin songs,

Just some highlights of my evenings with Colin Hay.

There is A LOT I'd like to say about my trip; I've had a lot on my mind about the experience and how I want to continue reaching my life's purpose. Maybe I've discovered it on this trip? I can't say for sure, but I know that I really enjoy sharing my passions with others, meeting people who share the same passion, witnessing pure joy, and reading and hearing stories about anything and everything, through any medium.
