Was really anxious this morning, and for those who do not suffer from anxiety, I figured I would give some insight into the world of anxiety and mental illness in general. Hope you enjoy my poem.
Panic from Within
A painful twisting knot pressing on my diaphragm
Tightening, gripping, tearing away my breath
A disabling disease, as my brain works against me
A cancer burning through every inch of my body
Stabbing
Thieving
Confident
Weakening
Destructive
Crippling
Deadly
Panic sweeps through my veins, muscles clench
Blackness clouds my vision, blurring the world
Spinning, losing control, fighting for my very breath
Drowning
Gasping
Fighting
Battling
Mind over body, anxiety pushing against reason
Confusion
Doubt
Senseless
Powerlessness ripping apart my very existence
I must not give in, reason rushes forward, slicing
Battling back these forces of darkness from within
Light dissipating the fog, casting away the clouds
Anger
Frustration
Bitterness
Winding up its own power, defeating the powerlessness
A sunrise on the horizon, night gives way to none-other-than
Hope
Faith
Victory
