Lets shed some reality on mental illness. It's not cute, it's not a joke and it's not an excuse: Write about a panic or anxiety attack. I'd love to see poetry, short stories and glimpses into who you are.

Flesh Wound

In

But it's not quite right,

Too quick and shallow,

Chest feels hollow,

And everything is too loud.

Just an over reaction,

Why not just stay calm,

It was a simple touch

Not meant to cause harm

Out

But it still burns on flesh,

Too unexpected,

Wouldn't move when rejected,

And dug in deeper

In

Feel dirty

Need to leave and

They're staring at me

Stiff

Want to move

Can't bring it to be

Out

Too shaky

Where's safety?

Just want somewhere private.

In

Nowhere

Just run

Find the closest thing

Out

But outside is too much

In

And inside is too full

Out

These eyes on me are heavy

In

This all is cruel

Out

Just want it

In

To stop

Out

Please

In

Just
