Challenge
Lets shed some reality on mental illness. It's not cute, it's not a joke and it's not an excuse:
Write about a panic or anxiety attack.
I'd love to see poetry, short stories and glimpses into who you are.
“Mind In A Cage”
Frozen here
In panic and fear
I cannot move forward
I can no longer react
My body just seized
I'm under attack
I try to breathe
But it's suffocating me
What's on my mind to
Cause such distress
Things I have said and all my regrets
The trembles start and the
Fast beating heart
My mind in a cage with thoughts I Can't explain
Trying to understand it
Leaves me feeling emotionally drained
At times I feel like a empty shell
Living in anxieties personal Hell
My mind is a prison
Maximum security
These emotions in me
Are extremely debilitating
Anxiety's no joke
It's real
Not fake
A mental race
I can never escape
