Poet Introduction
The Love of Fall
The love of fall,
the air is grisp,
It fills me with bliss
the smell in the air,
the cool breeze,
the trees releasing leaves
the love of fall,
tis my favorite time
early moring hours,
setting on the porch,
rocking in my chair
coffee in hand
as the sun rises
goosebumps cover my skin
as I take another sip
The love of fall
tis my favorite time
the air is grisp,
It fills me with bliss
the smell in the air,
the cool breeze,
the trees releasing leaves
the love of fall,
tis my favorite time
early moring hours,
setting on the porch,
rocking in my chair
coffee in hand
as the sun rises
goosebumps cover my skin
as I take another sip
The love of fall
tis my favorite time

Panic Attack
My mind has been clear
this recent year
today I was afraid
in the middle of this day
out of nowhere
panic set in
leaving me thinking
this could be the end
I retreated to
a quiet place
as I always do
embracing my thoughts
false alarm, these thoughts
can do no harm
my heart rate has gone down
the shaking has stopped
I'm okay, let's finish this day

The Weight
cumbersome thoughts awaken me,
make it through the day I say to thee,
what have I become or
have I succumed
is this insanity I ask thee?
I no longer recognize me
why do they not stop,
just let me be
enjoy life I am told,
but the thoughts take hold
I obsess over thoughts,
afraid they will control me
flashbacks of things I have seen,
do not go away

but the thoughts take hold
I obsess over thoughts,
afraid they will control me
flashbacks of things I have seen,
do not go away
my thoughts awaken me

The Hole
down the rabbit hole I go,
as my thoughts take control,
what will I find
In this hole of mine
the thoughts never end,
is the common trend
my mind is full of fear,
that is all I hear
Let me go! Let me go!
I am trapped in this hole
Mistakes I cannot escape,
let me go! let me go!
I need a new space
as my thoughts take control,
what will I find
In this hole of mine
the thoughts never end,
is the common trend
my mind is full of fear,
that is all I hear
Let me go! Let me go!
I am trapped in this hole
Mistakes I cannot escape,
let me go! let me go!
I need a new space

The Mirror
looking in the mirror
I do not recognize thee,
the whispering of voices
only find thee,
I leave the room
trying to flee,
only to see the darkness
is waiting on me
I do not recognize thee,
the whispering of voices
only find thee,

Darkness
darkness and desolation
does my mind find thee,
despondency of mind imprisonment,
only I can see
not one could see the struggle,
I'm always filled with glee
like waves crashing into the cliffs
I flounder about
no foothold to be found,
not one to grasp
at this moment,
my struggle is complete
at last, tranquility for all to see,
if only I was not already
in obscurity.
