Panic, worry, darkness closing in around me.
These are some of the words I could use to describe my anxiety
But nothing I can say could speak of its entirety
As I cry internally thinking I've lost my sanity.
Doctors, counselors, saying there's something wrong with me
My parents telling me to calm down and stop being so crazy
But how can I calm down when the world around me
Is spinning out of control and I can barely see?
"Breathe. You will get through this."
I say to myself.
You will get through the sleepless nights,
All the internal fights
And the days that seem right
When the world hits you with all its might.
"Breathe. You will be fine"
I say to myself.
I know you think I'm overreacting about the silliest little things,
But to me those silly little things seem like the doom the world could bring.
Can't you see, a spilled glass of milk to you can seem like an earthquake to me.
I know it might be hard to understand my anxiety
But I hope today I have given you some clarity.
So the next time someone is scared and feels like they can't breathe,
Shaking and crying, unable to see,
Don't tell them they're overreacting
Don't call them crazy.
Help them realize there is more to life than this misery
And no matter the doubt inside, they will be who they are meant to be.
"Breathe. I will get through this."
I say one more time
A poem written by me
About anxiety
