JenniferG Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm sharing this free form poem with those who may be experiencing anxiety during this holiday season. These are thoughts I penned in my journal when I was walking that lonely road. Go with the feeling Don't resist, feel it fully That dull, heavy ache in my chest cavity It has my heart in a vice grip The cousin of fear Dividing me rather than making me whole I am besides myself with loneliness Like a reluctant hiker burdened with a leaden backpack filled with anxious thoughts It's a lonely road that all of us must traverse at some juncture or another in our lives My tormentor is hungry and demanding It wants to be fed If I give in to its demands, it will flourish But I can't ignore it for it will scream louder I will not allow it to destroy my essence I will not give in to the beast Because it's only its shadow that looms In itself, it is small I shine my true, powerful light to obliterate the shadow I breathe calmly And I am safe As I THINK I am well, therefore I AM well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
