hi,, Ok I've been following these forums for ages and never contributed, but every time there's been some crazy thought rattling round my head, I've haunted these forums in stealth mode and found peace of mind... I used to write to clear my head, and haven't for years, but hey, for some reason I got inspired today (and brave lol)... so I wanted to share this with people who may actually understand it... I hope that's ok xxx


Eyes shine bright, Skin is flushed,
Heart beats wildly, frantic rush.
Finger drum, knees will tremble,
Moistened skin begins to tingle...

Evidently people out there cannot grasp the feeling
That gravity is failing whilst the mind is fast unreeling.
The world is turned upon its head
whilst trying to stand tall
Electric surges blast your veins
but outwardly you cannot fall.

The worst could happen; let it be,
"Let God throw all he can at me"
If I should fall, loose consciousness
"at least when I wake, I'm over this mess."

Clammy palms, racing heart,
no place to go, nowhere to dart,
Without a tiger, who would run?
And from yourself? It can't be done!

Breath in for 4, and out for 8
keep conscious or you could be late,
Let no one know, tell not a soul.
Survive this moment, that's the goal.

Pulse starts to slow; in 4, out 8
In front of me, the office gates,
in public eye, I will not fall,
get in the doors, then loose it all.

Why do I cry? I am not sad,
I'm bloody furious, raging mad.
Another morning lost to fear
of mortal dangers that simply aren't here.

Then happy me again reborn,
she smiles she laughs, inside shes torn.

Evidently people out there cannot grasp the feeling
That gravity is failing whilst the mind is fast unreeling.
Clearly what they really see
In eyes that shine and cheeks all flushed
is hyper happy boisterous me.
But enthusiasm? Nope. Adrenaline rush!


thanks for reading xxx

'Without a tiger who would run, and from yourself it can't be done'. What a great poem and obviously shows how you feel without any further need for explanation. Nice to meet you.

Hi Lilu, just wanted to say that your poem is very good, a lot i can identify with, especially the lines,

Why do I cry? I am not sad, I'm bloody furious, raging mad.
Another morning lost to fear, of mortal dangers that simply aren't here.

For whats its worth, i think you should continue with your writing/poetry you have a way with words.

Thank you for posting. Dannybhoy

Hi, being creative with words is a great thing to be able to do, it helping to clear your head and get it out of your system is a wonderful bonus, i understand it fully, what your saying in your poetry, i feel like that every day, well nearly every day and your right it does feel as if no one else understands, so thank heaven for this site.:) x

Hello and welcome,I'm a new member aswell.
Just been reading your poem and I think its brilliant
I personally think it would make a excellant song as well as a poem

Yes, I agree John61. It already has the words; 'Let it be', in the verse, that surely has to be a sign that it would be a great Song.:)

Hi Lilu, and welcome :) Your poem was so spot on... I really identify with those feelings and thoughts, and you've recreated the whole panic/anxiety experience perfectly. Well done - I hope it really helped you to get it down on paper, and I'm sure it'll help anyone who reads it and realises they're not alone with it all.

A beautiful poem, I'm looking in, as my daughter has anxiety and panic, and, I couldn't understand before how she felt, but this has helped enurmously. I can't see what's going on inside her but I do know though, that she does get cross when she doesn't manage to get to school as you have written ... thankyou, keep writing you definately have a gift xxx
