Ocean

Most thoughts come in waves,
Sometimes they sweep me under.
A tsunami of horrible days,
No positivity to provide cover.
Unanswered questions get the best of me,
The "what ifs" knock me down.
Remembering every detail
Until it feels like I will drown.
It's a struggle to keep my head above,
Some days I don't know how to swim.
I'm afraid they will engulf me
But today they didn't win.

***I wrote this coming down from an anxiety attack so part of me feels like it's unfinished, I just needed the words to come out. SORRY!**

    Anxiety attacks are truly terrifying. I used to have them before my retail job and it certainly can be debilitating. I hope writing these emotions, raw and honest, helped in some way. Glad to hear the thoughts didn't fully sink you, they didn't win this time.

    So I really enjoyed your poem today. Very nice way to get your feelings across in a positive way love the ending

    “Some days I don't know how to swim.
    I'm afraid they will engulf me
    But today they didn't win.”

    Great work.
