Anxiety

Like poisonous gas
It fills my lungs
Water rises
As I slowly drown
In my own thoughts
Unforgiving
It will not stop


Looking up, I see a train
It does not bother to halt
It crashes through my skull
Into my thoughts


It goes by the name of ‘fear’
Soon comes ‘sadness’
Followed by ‘despair’


The sun will never rise
Relief will never come
The day forever dark
It’s only just begun

Weston, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
