An Anxiety Attack in Poetry

By D BurtonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I know what it's like

to lose control.

The mind ticks

ticks away

Stop.

continues without you,

leaves you behind.

I know what it's like

to lose control.

To feel scared

of yourself

Stop.

to feel disconnected.

Separated from the mind.

I know what it's like

to lose control.

as if you are

chasing your mind.

Stop.

the mind that has

betrayed you.

I know what it's like

to lose control.

To feel lost,

without direction.

Stop.

It makes you

feel numb

I know what it's like

to lose control.

The mind mocks you,

your thoughts laugh at you

but it you can't stop.

Stop.

We are losing

control.
