Alone in a Tear
December 17, 2018
Lost in the ocean
Of my tears
Trying to swim
Devoid
Of any air
You see, life
Is a bubble
That floats
In the night
One day
It pops
Like it never
Caught sight
Notes
Scribbled on paper
That soon
Were erased
A leaf
Drifting away
That never
Was chased
Forgotten
In my vast
Voluminous soul
Now home
To the ocean
That swallowed
Me whole

As a 7th grader I began suffering from anxiety. The episodes that plagued me kept me home from school, often for weeks on end. I was unable to express my feelings for over a year, leaving my parents, teachers, and doctors at a loss as to what to do. I eventually turned to poetry as a means of therapy and a way to put words to the emotions I was feeling.
