Save me from anxiety
Panic, fear-
Take them from me
I want to run
Set me free
Tell me how ok I’ll be
Remind me of the calming breath
When I take it I will forget
Why everything seemed such a threat
My heart stopped racing
I am calm
Now let’s see what had gone wrong

The author's comments:
i have anxiety and i am in a class to help with it. one of the skills that help me most is the calming breath. this poem is about a break through with this skill, whereas my other poem on anxiety "ANXIETY ATTACK" is when it got the best of me.

You are a good writer. To be able to share your thoughts and feelings with the world through a poem is a great talent... keep writing!

I am in love with this poem. Truly. Perfect. Five stars.

Check out my work if you can, it'd mean a lot coming from someone with your skills to tell me what you think :)

I have anxiety too, and have tried to write about it, but it's kind of overwhelming to me. Thanks for putting into words what I couldn't. Breathing is the most helpful for me too. :D
