Anxiety

Anxiety is something i deal with often, so i decided to write about it.

The scenario is planted in her brain, and a frenzy ensues

She begins to think about it every minute of every day

Her heart accelerates

She feels sick to her stomach

Sweat begins to form on her forehead

It feels as if a million angry butterflies have invaded her stomach

Tearing away everything in the process

She needs this feeling to stop

A way out

Someone needs to tell her its all right

Her breathing becomes heavy

Soon its short baby breaths

She's crying

She can't do it anymore

She falls to the floor because she's tired of dealing with this

She can't do it anymore

She'll just cancel

With that simple thought she feels better

Everything is calm

She needs to stay here

Where she's okay

Or her anxiety will consume her

Her anxiety controls her

Her anxiety is her.

I love this and how expressive it is. how it puts the reader in that place, and forces them to feel that feeling.

[Maurice]

You have described anxiety very well in this poem.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

For those who don't experience these kinds of episodes can never fully understand... I applaud you for being able to express yourself this way and put yourself in the open like that, maybe it can help others in the same situation.

[Crusaderscross]

Really liked your poem. Your poem feels like a ball of anxiety. It is quite paralyzing that feeling and usually when someone is anxious, the best thing to do is be calm with them. The feeling it your poem is quite powerful. Loved it. You captured the sense very good.

[Miss Coral]

Great piece.. the tone was perfect to convey what you wanted. The last line seemed almost a revelation.. nice job. c:

[Hello, Elle]

Impressive work! I very much appreciate the fact that you kept the reader interested, and I thought the ending was perfect. Nicely done!

[Ramiz Ilham Khan]

You end with an almost 'Realization' "Her anxiety is her"
It has layers and questions.
Good Work.

this took me deep into a dark, helpless place. I have been here, very vivid and well written descriptions. I like it. Beautiful writing, dear.

As someone with horrid anxiety, I know exactly what this poem's saying. I think the way you portrayed it is perfect. It's a hard thing to live with, a hard thing to describe, but you hit it just right.

Your simplistic description produces a very accessible understanding. The poem moves along very nicely in this manner. Very nice.
