Aqua Marine Poet Alliteration

Sigh of Relief

Pushed up from stomach's abyssmal pit
Choked off cries, constraint deformed
Packed with panic's punches
Right here where words are formed
Throat cords tightly gripped
Resistance rules my holding back
While mouth stammers mind blown shock
Fear sped thoughts fly blindly
Wild-eyed in disconnected space
Beneath pain's radar, dead-ends faced
Cant find escape through tiny slits
In self expression's cut free places
Stripped sounds,unreasoned, so distraught
I'm cramped, wrapped tight, shut up, 
Curled up, gone again without a trace.
Mind flails blind at hidden threats
Going to die, my heart attacks me
Going to die, my only thoughts
Half- crazed, clownish acting out
Breathe in, breathe deep, breathe out.
Breathe in, breathe deep, breathe out...Slowly...
Breathe in, breathe deep, breathe out...Slowly...

I feel myself levelling out...Slowly...
 
Kindness holds keeled heart upright
Kind words rein me in, damp down fright
Caught unawares by calming help
Relief seeps through, soothing thoughts
Shifts gears back to lucid tracks,
Take it easy, take it easy, pressure's off
Life's plain sailing once again

Breath in, breathe deep, breathe out...Sigh...

Darren White July 17, 2017 at 4:08 AM Oh, yeah, so relatable (unfortunately). What Heidi said indeed. Thanks for commenting on my poem :) Aqua Marine July 17, 2017 at 4:40 AM I cant even explain how much it took to comment on your poem today...lifelong struggle with anxiety... So glad you can relate...thank you for your kind thoughts...(((Hugs)))

Heidi Sands July 13, 2017 at 5:30 AM I understand what anxiety can be for people and have also worked with others before. My thoughts are with you. Take care :) Aqua Marine July 13, 2017 at 2:48 PM It can be quite paralyzing, but recently Ive done some " TRE" therapy through a good friend of mine- it has helped a lot. Thank you for your kindness...:-)
