[DOF] Anxiety.

 

Hello, this is just to represent a piece of what it feels like to have anxiety and to feel like your heart is gonna launch off your chest. I haven’t written a poem in a while, and I surely haven’t shared a poem with the UN community. To all those suffering with anxiety, this a poem dedicated for you, and I hope I capture even the smallest bits. I hope you all enjoy reading this.

One.

Two.

Three.

Fingers dancing across the surface.

Drawing figures as I try to breathe.

The way my wrist became an embodiment of an easel, I am not at ease.

How my fingertips acts like an artist but a mathematician beneath.

Every line equates to a breathe.

But I can’t breathe.

 

A line to the left, a desperate call for air.

My heart has been caged inside multiple sets of bones.

Fearing that it will break apart at this very second.

A change of direction and yet I can’t still breathe.

 

Heartbeats similar to the number of thoughts flashing through my mind,

Yet it is opposite to the number of words I can spit.

Like a toddler learning how to walk and speak,

I choke on my words as I give up on my limbs.

I am weak.

 

Why am I here?

I can’t be here.

Just like the fingers of mine dancing, I have to make my grand escape.

It’s knock is near.

 

Again.

One.

Two.

Three.

It’s happening all over again.

Oh, Help, I can’t breathe.

 

 

 

MARVELLOUS!

such rawness! Your poem opens a door for people to step on the void; your persona offers such edginess. Truly marvellous! Hope to hear more from you.

:O
