Bite Sized Pieces

Trigger Warming: Anxiety

Overwhelmed, breathless, problems crowding in

I write down my problems,

Drowning. Drowning. Drowning.

I tell myself just one thing-

Break it down, problems to bite sized pieces,

That are easy to solve, digestible they would say

And I breathe.

It’s impossible, a voice inside me crows,

And I close my eyes, holding onto conviction,

It can be sliced and diced and made bite sized,

It can be solved,

Tomorrow if not tonight.

(P.S.- I didn’t get sleep till the problems were gone, But what else is new?)

Author’s Note: Anxiety can be a pain…but if I can get through it, we can get through it together. Liked the poem? Maybe you can then…like, review, share, or pay what you will? Just a suggestion.
