A dark shadow lingers in my mind It sits there like a crow on a fence post It waits, hunched over to attack Swooping down when I least expect it It will pick away at my tenderest places, the smooth and soft edges of my soul Slowly, methodically it will tear my heart open and leave it gaping A dark shadow will enter into my heart And revel on the sharp edges of my soul Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

Hey lady...it's good to see yer face! *smooches* (oh...wiping screen...forgot about the lipstick!) This is a most eloquent portrayal of anxiety. (to me, anyway) It is exactly how I feel about that unexplained lurking, and the fear I have of reocurrence of attacks. I'm not sure if that was your intent, but you slammed one "home" for me, so I thank you! |

Krista darling girl this is such a tortured and image filled piece, I swear I can see the picture clearly, and what a horrific but accurate picture it is. The trials of a soul that is so vulnerable to attack is heart wrenching darling heart. Take care of yourself and if this isn’t fiction here’s a ((((( hug ))))  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

It sits there like a crow on a fence post It waits, hunched over to attack SmittenKitten - I must agree with serenity, as this is how the panic attacks I have endured, seem to me as well. Whether you meant to or not, you have described a dark disorder vividly!!! Well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

K~ Hehe, girly, you make me giggle  I'm sure your screen is full of smooches from all your lovin'!You are right about the intent of this piece....But I don't think it was anxiety in particular that I was focusing on but more the attack of depression and bad feelings in general. *hugs and love mothy lady* Mushy~ Thank you for understanding...and thank you especially for the hug  *hugs and love back* Magnus~ Hehe...sorry, your comment about the buzzard made me giggle ~ I'm not sure if it was supposed to or not! Thank you very much for your comments and I think the crow is taking off soon!  Chris~ I'm sorry that you could relate to this so well. This poem came out during a bad time for me and often I feel like there is always something bad lurking in my thoughts and heart, thankfully though, it is not a permanent disorder for me. *warm hugs to you* Thank you for your view! Nancy~ Thank you! *hugs back* Hugs to all of you! Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |
