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.

“Mind In A Cage”

Frozen here

In panic and fear

I cannot move forward

I can no longer react

My body just seized

I'm under attack

I try to breathe

But it's suffocating me

What's on my mind to

Cause such distress

Things I have said and all my regrets

The trembles start and the

Fast beating heart

My mind in a cage with thoughts I Can't explain

Trying to understand it

Leaves me feeling emotionally drained

At times I feel like a empty shell

Living in anxieties personal Hell

My mind is a prison

Maximum security

These emotions in me

Are extremely debilitating

Anxiety's no joke

It's real

Not fake

A mental race

I can never escape
