PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the anxiety starts kicking in

i start to forget who i am

the spirit who lives inside my bones

is wandering ever far from home

this isn't who i am inside

can't even tell if i'm still alive

i share these words through rhythm and rhyme

but can't shake the feeling of being lost in time

where am i?

gotta get out

where am i?

HELP ME GET OUT

MY BODY IS WEAK AS MY THOUGHTS GO RACING

I THINK I AM DYING-

MY HEART IS PACING

BEATING TO THIS TEMPO, ALL TO OBSCENE

AM I AWAKE, OR IS THIS ALL A DREAM?

breathe slowly

NOT ENOUGH AIR

MIND TAKES OFF

INTO PIECES I TEAR

RUSH RUSH RUSH

I CANNOT KEEP CALM

INHALE, EXHALE

UNTIL THIS IS GONE

as i clench my fists

my eyes fill with tears

with an ache in my chest

i now face all my fears

running away

forgetting my story

this is my life in a panic

when i've lost all my glory

with the last crash of thunder

the storm has now passed

I return to reality

escape my demons at last
