A random poem I just came up with (at school, bored)

[teen_anxiety]

I woke up crying in the dark. The air was pulling on my lungs. My mind screamed in pain while my body shook in fear. But yet through all this, I sleep, not knowing what's wrong I head back into my head I play with the friends in there. I keep asking myself what is wrong but never give an answer-back. This is fear, this is a loss of control, this is an attack, this is my mind.

Is this reflective of an experience you had/have?

maybe idk I have not woken up like this ever before but the rest might be I honestly don't know I just thought of it and liked it.

Alright, I was just wondering how to approach your post. I’m glad you aren’t waking up like that, I hope it stays that way. But if things change and you’re waking up like that, we’re always here for you From the other stuff you said, not knowing what’s wrong, fear, and loss of control; if this poem is something you like, I’m thinking that it’s something related to whatever’s going on in your life. I know for me that when I read or come up with something that describes what I have a hard time feeling and putting into words, I ‘like’ it. It stands out, makes sense, and it sticks. It packs a punch whenever I read it and it allows me to process my feelings in a way that I understand more clearly. So I guess it’s more about liking the emotional clarity for me, being able to specify the pain I’m feeling, rather than wading through the unknown, not knowing what I’m really feeling, just that it hurts.

Anyway, enough about me there. That might not even be applicable in your situation, it could just be that you liked it for no other reason than to like it. I’m not you, my intention isn’t to assume and misjudge or anything. I just remembered how I used to come up with little poems in an effort to put a voice to my pain. So I thought perhaps there was a connection and you’re doing something similar. You can correct me on anything I said, just looking to understand/relate and hopefully find a way to help if needed.

I hope you feel better, don’t linger in the dark too long. Remember that there’s light waiting for you just keep trying and do your best

I think that might be what It's like I just do not know why or what it is in my life that relates to this poem that's what I meant

These sensitive people need to get hooked up to social causes as they are insightful and being too self aware can start to overthink over wonder and ponder and fears get amplified. Working with other who need help or caretakers puts things back into perspective and keeps from ruining a sensitive person or get them busy into the arts. Over contemplation can be self digestion Bright bright person whoever wrote it. Or keep a balance

I'm confused, what are you saying?
