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.

overthink
oh god, i'm sorry
i'm so sorry
tonight, i'm
sleepless
thinking of
unsaid words,
haunted by
syllable ghosts
tonight, they
whisper
it's you,
it's you
the space
between texts,
the distance
between friends
oh god, i'm sorry
i'm so sorry
today, i'm
hopeless
drowning in
self doubt,
submerged by
paranoid waves
today, they
bellow
it's you,
it's you
the reason
they leave,
the moments
they grieve,
oh god, i'm sorry
i'm so sorry
today, i'm
hopeless
tonight, i'm
sleepless, and
tomorrow, i'll
still believe
it's me,
it's me.
