Anxiety Freedom

the order of words is worth a great deal of worry
is it anxiety that acts upon freedom
or freedom that demands of anxiety
a truth: fate cannot save you from yourself
the burden of action weighs great upon the neck
of the thoughtful and the thoughtful are great
overthinking machines, failing their Turing tests
and getting held back a few grades
until they can consider less
and do more without
due consideration
to imagine that there is only one option
the burning of the boats
is a powerful myth
driving on with a madness
the folly of millions
while those under the sway
of less potent medicine
sip at everything
and know not where to start
