I find writing poetry helps to vent my anxiety.
I thought I would post something I have recently written:
Yorkshire Moors
It’s inviting, yet grey, desolate and bleak
Interesting with a feeling of sadness which engulfs
Strong yet with the sweep of the wind it becomes weak
Silence, except the sound of a solitary raven
Scratchy green shrubs stretch for miles
It’s our very own hidden haven
I wasn’t born to this hilly land
But I always felt sure to call it my own
Someone came to me and took my hand
And now it’s my home.

Im not sure that writing poetry helps me but I do find that it can allow me to focus for a time.
Thanks for your poem

Definitely think we should have a poetry thread on here.
This is quite bleak - it represents where I still am in life, even if I haven't posted a while. It is also a bit of a stream of consciousness but it did let out some emotion and help me stir from a low mood so I am glad for it this evening, in a way:
And all the things I want in life
They seem slowly to drift away from me
Like grains of sand between my fingers
Like embers from a bonfire suffocated by the cool autumn air
It all feels rather hopeless
And some people have their perfect job
And some people are getting married
And some people are having babies
And some people have all of this
And some people have none of this
And yeah I'm jealous
Yet why should I even try any more
I know I'll never be like them
I throw obstacles in my way
And it's hard to be a happy shiny person
When you're constantly hurdling
And falling
So here I find myself again
Three pints under
Or rather I don't find myself
For I already know that there are no answers
At the bottom of the pint glass
However much I squint
However much I hope sometimes
You see, somebody told me that once
Somebody
Somebody needs to help me sometimes
The scariest thing is
That person is always me
