I Am Thinking About My Life

i feel like i'm standing in a large shallow lake and there's a bottomless sinkhole right in the middle that stretches hundreds of meters, and i'm being asked to swim across.
i don't know what's in that sinkhole, i don't know if there's a current waiting to drag me down, or if the water's too cold or choppy to be in. but if i remain in the shallows where it's warm and comfortable, i'll drown, no question about it.
i get the shakes just thinking about it.

There were episodes in my younger years where I'd have three different crises going on at one time and it seemed like life was trying to pull me under. I would get through the period and it would be peaceful for awhile and then once again. A lot of it having to do with health concerns of family members but also trouble-makers.
