Concern erupts
Worry builds
Heartbeat races
Fingers chill
Head pounds
Legs go weak
Tummy turns
I cannot speak
Feel sick
Might faint
Help please
All constrained
It's my heart
Got to get out
Want to move
I can't shout
Hand held
Words whispered
Eyes close
Voice whimpers
Help at hand
Calming slowly
Breathing better
Praying thanks to Holy
The horror is over
My voice is back
The body is working
Goodbye anxiety attack
Xxxxxxxx
This is the first in a series of poems about mental health: A to Z of mental health. I hope you enjoy the journey with me and perhaps learn something about the reality of what it's like to live with a mental health disorder along the way. God Bless.
