A poem about panic

[Hears The Water]

Hey folks. I thought I would share a poem with everyone here. I have not shared it with anyone else as they would not understand. I know that all of you will though, so that is why I thought I would put it here. I was not sure of which "room" to put it in, so if you want to move it Nicolea, I totally understand. Here goes.....


Fear tears through my being
stealing away moments of my life
beats of my heart
fractions of my soul.
Irrational yet oh-so-real feelings.
My eyes widen,
my heart pounds,
my senses heighten.
Prickly pin points of heat flood my face
the bottom drops out of my stomach.
I want to run,
to scream,
to smash something
but I can't.
How would that look?
I want to climb up in my mommy's lap
and be comforted.
But she isn't there..... never was.
So I push it down and try to go on,
telling my self that I am o.k.
Stuffing and pushing,
standing on it
until my mind feels like it will explode
from the fuzzy nebulous pressure.

Then I cry and everything get better....
for a while.

Hi Debs

Thanks for sharing the poem. Poems can say quite a lot in a short space of time can't they, sometimes they can have more power than that of normal ways of communicating too.

I especially liked the ending, top marks

Diana, I feel so honored that you would want to print out my poem. Yes I did write it, and yes you can print it. I have found that if I can draw or write something I will get distracted and feel better. Glad you liked it.
God bless you and yours

Thanks Debs,

I will display it for all to see, and give those who pass through my kitchen a look into what it is we sufferers go through. Good for you that writing or drawing something takes your mind off of the feelings you get with anxiety/panic. Creating things like this poem, is a more powerful thing than the feelings of the anxiety/panic. Thanks again for the okay to print it. Take care dear, May God bless you and yours too !!!!

Love,
