anxiety 2

10/16/06 - 11/18/06

Anxiety pounds against my body
My ribs are caving in
It's getting hard to breath
The air is getting thin
I wish I could just leave
Abandon all the fears
Escape from all the pressure
Dry up all the tears

I try to let go
Of the weight inside my heart
I don't know where to go
I hope it isn't far
I want to release the tension
And throw away my doubt
But then I start to panic
And look for a way out

Love is hard for me
I still hold resentment
From the wounds I've received
That have made me demented

But through the gloom
There is the sun
I love to hold her
We both are one
She keeps me sane
When sanity hides
She sticks by me
Through my silent cries

Can I change my perceptions
Can I place my bet
That this might work
Or is the path already set
I'm trying my best
To make all things right
We'll see where it goes
Hopefully it might

Amazing poem, I like how you have the time and effort to write out your day in an actual poem. Your poems are detailed, imaginative, dramatic and I enjoy reading them. I stayed really interested throughout my reading because everyday seems to be a dramatic day for you. I can tell you spent a lot of time and effort on this blog and I respect that. Hope you put some more poems on!
