Array ( [sid] => 113367 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Tripping Hard [time] => 2006-01-17 23:42:25 [hometext] => Worst trip I've ever been on....anxiety. [bodytext] => My eyelids are so h e a v y
They're so hard to hold open
thoughts still very much awake
too many words are being
spoken

How can one be so tired
but sleep cannot be found
Anxiety is a Schedule I drug, man
Found way to easily in my town

No need to trip on LSD
No. Not when your tripping on
major anxiety
Damn, I just need to rest now
Could I have some quiet, PLEASE

I've got to quit bugging out, man
Must learn to relax and
be at ease
Pretend
I am free
Be like the breeze...

just
gently
blow
away

I can identify with this, I used to get major anxiety attacks felt like my heart was going to pop out of my mouth.

The doctor put me on beta blockers to slow me down,
then a year or so later I discovered dope did the same thing.

I gave that up started eating salads and cycling everywhere!

best home grown cure there was for me.
The exercise has def chilled me out.

I reward myself once every so often by going to the pub and getting ****** out of my head!
Nice work.

poetic influence...that was uncalled for. I suffer from anxiety/panic disorder. I am not a crack head. I don't smoke that nasty stuff. Why would you judge me so. And you PM me and tell me not to judge you!!! For goodness sake. I do homeschool my daughter but again I assure everyone out here at YPDC . I DONT NOT SMOKE CRACK. How rude of you. I wish you peace, Laura

Laura, unfortunately there will always be those who don't understand. Your poem was creative and heartfelt. I'm sorry you still struggle so, my friend. I too have had bouts with anxiety and panic. I guess what works for me is faith, as I know He is really in charge, even though I must still put forth the effort.

Peace be with you, my friend
Remember, you are worth the effort!

Good poem Laura. I suffer from anxiety attacks too. By accident, I have found a medication that has subdued them. (I was prescribed the medicine for one cause and found it worked for my anxiety.)

Anyway, I understand just needing peace sometimes. I think there are many who could relate to this poem.

Poetic influence, you have slandered somebody for no apparent reason whatsoever.
Consequently,you will be the recipient of my black venom from this day forward, particularly in regards to your poetry, which is, as I suspected, pathetic, and infantile.

I see everyone has changed their nics!


Laura; you pen with such simple precision and feeling, that leaves the reader wanting to know you as a person---as they should---for you are as straightforward and heartfelt as your writing suggests...Keep it up : )
