List #7 Ways I Deal with Anxiety
1. Frequent trips to the refrigerator. Actually, I have to congratulate myself: I only do this maybe half as much as I did when I was younger. I mean, I can now perform incredible acts of derring-do, such as making a pint of ice cream last three or even four days! Don't laugh, I'm proud.
2. Walk the roof. I've always walked to deal with anxiety, usually at night. In Portland, I walked in the rain, and loved it. Now, I walk the top level of my parking garage, where there are panoramic views of the city. I'm fairly near the airport, and three times now I've seen a strange phenomenon: A...

Idealization
I see the world ending
And I keep on pretending
To have plans for the future like you
Maybe it’s the snow
Or the self-hatred I sow
That makes it look like its not worth pulling through
I try to think forward
There’s fog, mist, and mortar
I couldn’t save myself a cent if I tried
I found an old letter
From myself from when I was better
It said, “Sorry I didn’t meet you before I died”
Oh, smoke in trees
Are you a sign or just a...

disorientation
I can't shake feeling I'm in the wrong time
completely misplaced
a stranger in my own skin
not really meant for this
whatever it is
when the music starts
I never recognize the tune
I'm trying to tango with 2 left feet
watching storms build on the horizon
not worried about thunder
...just the lightning
I keep trying to tuck
...so I can effectively roll
but I'm all tangled in brambles
nowhere to go
bridges are fallen & roads are closed
I don't have a script...
but somehow I've become part...

No One Can Hear Me
It's like I'm stuck
Endlessly screaming for help
A silent plea as everyone around me
Just continues about their day
I'm drowning beneath
The things I can't bring myself to admit
I need help
But no one can hear me
I feel the weight of my world
Heavy on my shoulders
As I struggle to function
While those around me are just fine
I've survived so much
But I do not know
How to survive without chaos
Like a butterfly in a bottle
My life hangs in the balance
Of being alive but not living ...

Afraid of The Dark
I'm afraid the dark
The eerie shadows peering around the corners make me cringe
My heart races as my eyes battle to adjust to the Change
My mind screaming every alarm Beckoning me to run away
As if something lurks in the shadows ready to attack for the kill
I'm afraid of the dark
Frozen in fear as my hands begin to shake and throb
My mind is racing I've got to get out of here but I can't move
Oxygen leaves my lungs as I stare into blackness and sickening memories
Fingernails rip open my skin as the panic attack sets up full swing
I'm so...

Stuck
Stuck
I feel so alone, it’s a scary place to be,
Stuck in darkness, light is not to be seen,
So much hurt coming from deep within,
My will to live has got very thin,
Questioning my existence and why I’m here,
Living a life full of anxiety and fear,
Distance from reality, distance from myself,
I don’t even know myself,
I look in the mirror that’s not me,
I don’t know who it is I see,
Where did she go?
How did this happen?
I once had hope, now my future is blackened,
Stuck in darkness,
Nothingness,
No hope, ...

Don't Squeeze The Charmin
Hearing the yapping echo of Mr. Whipple
it just didn't happen a false sense of poo
screaming death's diarrhea a moment sat
watching the creepy crawlies explode
in the devil's chair covered in frost
listening for a flush squeezing the Charmin
it just didn't happen a false sense of poo
it just didn't happen a false sense of poo
screaming death's diarrhea a moment sat
watching the creepy crawlies explode
in the devil's chair covered in frost
listening for a flush squeezing the Charmin
it just didn't happen a false sense of poo

Along Fell The Long Johns
Along fell the long johns in the night
from my insomnia's nauseous nocturnes
as I fall deeper into screaming meemies
hanging on to my handlebar mustache
endlessly screaming in my heebie-jeebies
left over from my anxiety attack
streaking past the Communion's pulpit
watching me from the tail end of a radar gun
hanging on to my handlebar mustache
along fell the long johns in the night
streaming in my Hanes underwear
from my insomnia's nauseous nocturnes
as I fall deeper into screaming meemies
hanging on to my handlebar mustache
endlessly screaming in my heebie-jeebies
left over from my anxiety attack
streaking past the Communion's pulpit
watching me from the tail end of a radar gun
hanging on to my handlebar mustache
along fell the long johns in the night
streaming in my Hanes underwear

It's Whatever
I have been trapped within this maze of depression. I'm going through a lot and I lost all sense of direction. For some time now darkness surrounds me like an eclipse. It's eating away at my soul leaving no tips. I wish I had died in the accident that changed my life. Ever since then, all I have been going through is strife. Happiness comes and goes like a deadbeat dad. Leaving me all alone which has me feeling sad. I haven't written a poem in a long time, I came to a writer's block. My mind was congested which had my consciousness locked. I wanna be free from the confusion and pain. Hoping...

It Must Be A Duck - with Grace
Listening to the fiddle drip its ink
from the quill's archer string
into the shadow of death
between teeth of the oyster nut
ripping open my shadow
dipping oars in an endless sea
wandering in my philosophy
listening to the fiddle drip its ink
The ink dried upon aged parchment
faded into shades of light blue
words unseen but the message scream
epistles desperate to be heard
from a lover way past eons
confined in a void of deafening silence
a story in disguise secrets to unfold
I sat alone...
from the quill's archer string
into the shadow of death
between teeth of the oyster nut
ripping open my shadow
dipping oars in an endless sea
wandering in my philosophy
listening to the fiddle drip its ink
The ink dried upon aged parchment
faded into shades of light blue
words unseen but the message scream
epistles desperate to be heard
from a lover way past eons
confined in a void of deafening silence
a story in disguise secrets to unfold
I sat alone...

Used To Be
Everyday I wish I could be the girl I once was
I used to be loud
I used to want to be the center of attention
I used to love hugs
Then everything came crumbling down
I'll never be who I used to be
I'll never get used to who I was forced to be
I used to be fun
I used to be adventurous
I used to be outgoing
Then the Aniexty came rolling in like a middle of summer thunderstorm
Emotions like eighty mile per hour winds ripping my soul apart
Phantom Voices as loud as Thunder grenade through my brain
I used to be confident ...

Phantom Voices as loud as Thunder grenade through my brain

Memory
Memory
I don't know how to feel,
The flashbacks, nightmares and terrors are so real, Replaying in my mind so vividly,
Re happening so intensely,
Not knowing what's real and what's not,
Is is a flashback?
Or am I being shot?
Racing heart, sweaty palms,
Everything around me is causing me harm.
Hyper alert of everything around,
Peace and calm can't be found,
Scared to fall asleep,
The flashbacks make me weep,
Although I'm so very tired,
My brain is wired,
Every crash reminds me,
Of the trauma that broke...
