Soaked Sheets
Am I stuck in hell?
I cannot escape
All positive thoughts
quickly fade away
Nightmares emerge,
They feel so real
Make it stop
So I can feel
The trauma takes over
controlling my thoughts
Anxiety, panic, all settles in,
it never ends
My skin crawls with
every breath I take
Is this just PTSD,
or the new me
Awaken by sweat soaked
sheets yet again
The obsessive thoughts
never leave, are they just
a part of me?
The anxiety is crippling me
How do I escape
The moment passes for now,
It has left me
Until the next time,
I go about the day
I cannot escape
All positive thoughts
quickly fade away
Nightmares emerge,
They feel so real
Make it stop
So I can feel
The trauma takes over
controlling my thoughts
Anxiety, panic, all settles in,
it never ends
My skin crawls with
every breath I take
Is this just PTSD,
or the new me
Awaken by sweat soaked
sheets yet again
The obsessive thoughts
never leave, are they just
a part of me?
The anxiety is crippling me
How do I escape
The moment passes for now,
It has left me
Until the next time,
I go about the day

your poem made me think of this song which is oddly relaxing to listen to
I have felt this level anxiety nothing can touch it
except cold hard drugs I know that is bad advise though so my apologies...
