- a n x i e t y -

bits of an

 

 

round and round and round...

whirring... spinning...

"Ah, there goes... my anxiety - there it goes..."

 

i can't seem to cry

nor scream - 

i stay silent

deep inside i wish this was all a dream.

 

but aren't dreams supposed to be bright?

aren't they the ones that give you light?

how come mine's so dark and dreary - 

perhaps this is a nightmare... that's why i wake up so weary.

 

but dont nightmares come in your sleep?

how can it be here when i'm awake and unable to weep?

 

the darkness it brings scares me so,

how i wish i can just let go.

however i am held captive by the constant gloom -

closer and closer, i am nearing my doom.

 

if i ever reach out my hand

will someone help me? will someone understand?

 

if i ever end up losing this fight - 

i want them all to know i did do my best to take back my light.

    I don't think it's ALL your thoughts that are troublesome - just some?

  • Lorna

    Come here if your scared and keep writing your thoughts - and a tiny bit of advice that worked for me.... make sure you give up caffeine! You probably didn't need to hear that sorry.

  • L. B. Mek

    this write alone, is enough to show you're trying
    that's all anyone can ask of you
    keep sharing your truth!

  • The elder poet

    Before I go to sleep each night I think of good times in my life and hope to dream of them. By your posting it shows that you are reaching out. You are trying to make things better in your life. Keep trying to make it better. Talking about it helps. You are not the only one that feels this way . Thanks for sharing . I hope that life gets better for you.
