Angst (Sturm und Drang Suite)

Energy ebbs flows
Waves of life in an ocean
I am but a drop

when the mind is blank
a monochromatic world
created within
Is it real or just a phase?
Color can admit a pain

I can't pinpoint it
that spark of distress
but it's there
somewhere
I still feel unfulfilled
But I can't pinpoint it
I want to wake up
take a step out
and breath the fresh air
but I'm still half asleep
and why?
I can't pinpoint it

This and "anxiety" reinforce each other. Something deep and troubling is coming into your writing. Perhaps the writing is cathartic, perhaps it's trying to put thoughts into words, always a good thing.

I was writing something similar to this yesterday but couldn't finish it so it's tucked away for another time. I think you've done an excellent job conveying the feeling here... Being unable to pinpoint the fog or something {whatever it is}. Well done.
