My mind,what is your name?


The further I descend,the harder my escape becomes

My cries for help fail,becoming gradually more faint

They begin to go unnoticed

More people chalk this endless agony up to a passing phase

But,I know it is much more

This agonizing,anxiety driven person I have become

Will control me forever

Unless my rescuing salvation arrives

My mind will reside in this state of confliction

Pain,Fear,Worry,Anxiety,Stress,Deteriorating Self Esteem

For 3 years my minds been helplessly trapped in this world

I am incapable of explaining,and others are unable to relate

All these years,I've been restrained by confusion

Not knowing the name of my struggle

All of a sudden I've become aware

I break down in tears

This agonizing,anxiety driven,worrisome struggle

Finally has a name...

I knew it was coming

And when it came,it knocked me to my knees

Depression

It has finally overtaken

I am in love with writing.I love theatre,healthcare,and languages.I am currently an aspiring slam poet,and am currently the captain of a small club for slam poets,which consists of myself,and 2 others.I believe that everyone should be allowed to have a voice and a way to express themselves.For me,that's poetry.I don't really fit in with people,but I fit in perfectly in the writer community.I practice poetry all the time.I recite memorized poems,I read poems,and I write many of my own.I love to write,and the most important things to me are having compassion for others,always being kind,never screaming/yelling at a team or person,finding your true passions,and devoting yourself to your faith and morals.That's pretty much me,in a nutshell.
