Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Please Don'T Panic

We all have trouble
In our lives
Which causes sadness and sorrow
Enough to struggle through one day
With no thought about tomorrow

It is hard to concentrate
Life is no longer worth living
It has taken too much from me
Too much take
Too little giving

Rationale and reasoning
Have gone beyond belief
I feel as though
Both thought and mind
Have been stolen by a thief

A thief is someone
Someone you can't hear or see
I would like to
Trap this fiend
Who has made a mess of me

If I could write a letter
To all who have met this thief
I'd say
Please try not to panic
Only time will bring relief

Kristina Lim May 3, 2023 at 6:23 PM This is very encouraging. How dear of you to think of reassuring everyone who is going through the same thing. Shirley Hawkins May 5, 2023 at 6:08 PM Thank you, Kristina. Anxiety and depression are devastating and poorly understood by those who don't suffer from it. I hope if you do, you are getting help, which will give you the strength to realise this will pass.' Take care, Shirley
