Anxiety (You Are Not Alone) - A Poem

This poem could be triggering for sensitive listeners. However, this poem was made to give release to those who have anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I wanted to create it so those who suffer from severe anxiety can feel less alone. Because anxiety, depression, and PTSD can be an isolating experience. I truly hope this poem can help to give some release as it has helped me when I created it.

Transcript

Anxiety.

It is only a thought away.

It is just a heartbreak away.

It is a loss away.

It is a smoked mind.

A fearful heart.

It is a mist of something wrong.

A total distant soul.

Starts in the mind.

Moves its way into the form.

No one sign of connection in sight.

Creating a wall between the ones closest to you.

Confusing you.

They are all enemies.

No one will ever understand you.

Anxiety.

Tied me up in a terror.

Wrapped me and squeezed me,

Bleeding.

I cannot see indefinitely.

My heart's racing and I have no clue why.

Deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole I go.

Losing any sign of a glow.

You convinced me.

Now even becoming my only friend.

Anxiety.

Is the total loss of control.

So far gone I never thought I could go.

For trying to hold it all.

Thoughts I'm embarrassed to say.

The hatred of it all.

It is the judgement there for all.

It is trusting no one.

But constantly holding on by a hair.

Praying no one will strike a twine.

Cause all is fragile.

And every word is a knife.

A blade and some.

Searching for a release.

Never able to see another way.

And I'm far removed.

So what's the use of it all?

My dear.

Take a deep breath.

You have survived this far.

Because of yourself.

Learn compassion.

Learn to love.

And connect the body mind and soul.

Have a little faith within.

Forget the shame.

You are not alone.

Have a little more strength to know you can't fight this alone.
