I had a dream last night. When I looked into the mirror, I was wearing a denim mid-skirt with boots, and a dramatic yellow top with feathers—things I would never wear, least of all on a steaming summer day. I looked around and found myself on the dock, where my grandparents live in Keelung, Taiwan....

Insomniac Island
This entropy, it's endless. I'm captive in your void of sleep. My eyes are strung open, My hands clung to you But I'm drifting off, I'm drifting far away, Away from here, and as hard as I grasp onto you, I know I won't be back. Every time it happens. I can't think straight, I am so far off, And if I can't be me, I can't...

this world, connected by signals cell phones, towers impregnated by vibrations mild colors, flames rising from the hopes hues stolen by the edges of a heart, who hears the wind in the trees, the struggle the need of raindrops, poignant stroking the last of the moments before Helene spoke her war with creation a war that left time off its foundation –...

The Sound of Doubt
Tick. Rattling in my brain, Tick. I— Tick. Tick. Can’t imagine you’re pain, I too— Tick. Tick! Once felt that way, Did you ever— Tick! Tick! Try those breathing exercises? I heard they— TICK. Gasp! TICK. Stop panic attacks on the horizon, No well— TICK. GASP. TICK TICK TICK TICK! Maybe you’re faking it. ...

You leave the safety of your front gate and enter into fear. The early morning quiet magnifies your every movement into a noise - footsteps, breath, the sound of arms scraping against a coat. You don't want to be heard. There is nothing to hold onto in this ocean of streets, houses and motorcars. The world is bottomless and beneath your feet there is terror. You are now too far out. You...

I grew up on the East Coast, I don’t care about what’s closed; Snow panic makes me laugh, not enough for a graph; Florida fear runs unopposed....

My heart started beating so fast I thought it would break My hands were shaking; I felt dizzy and unsteady Unappreciated, threatened, I began to run I had never done that before at a job A co-worker tried to stop me; she said I did not look well I screamed and kept running...

THE HAZE Shuffle, I shuffle through the haze; Stopping just short of the light. I reach up, only stabbing with splinters the tiny fractions of time. It's this, this, this, and that. The pieces fall and gather fat-ten-ing, their bits at my feet. I pick up the pieces and, here, hold this. It's not that heavy, a...

Tempest
Your ominous nimbus descends, Don't shatter this summer’s grace. Now all freeze in fear’s embrace, You look so heavy, please, don’t race. I don’t care if you dare, Just don’t stomp your foot up there. But stubborn as you are, You plummet your tears for an hour. Now, the tides have changed, Calamity is named. The road now deep with ruts, Silently dousing my fragile huts. Don’t...

Premium Member In the air floats a strange sense of panic, like a heavy mist settling over the city
In the air floats a strange sense of panic, like a heavy mist settling over the city, a silent fear and uncertainty that penetrates our bones, along with the beliefs and truths that were once solid as rocks, but now melt like ice under the light of a merciless moon. Institutions, once temples of safety, are now castles of...

Panic Poem
Scared, Frightened, Afraid. These are feelings I have as my heart begins to race just like a car on a race track. My face, I feel it burning, just like the heat from a fire And panic is how I feel I want to run away from panic I want to hide from panic I want to cry when the word panic comes to mind panic, panic,...

panic attack
When will this feeling ever stop, Palpitations from my heart. I can't go out into the world how did these feelings start. My sweaty palms and pounding head I'm just so scared to get out my bed. People will judge me I just can't cope, feels like my hearts being pulled by a rope. My cheeks are getting tingles pins and...
