Favorite Quote:
"To define is to limit." - Oscar Wilde


Sitting deep in my

Stomach

There are bubbles.


Little 

Tiny

Bubbles

Coming from a 

Shiny

Stone.


The stone is

Always 

There.

It’s a 

Part

Of me now.


Sometimes,

It makes

Lots

Of bubbles.


And the 

Bubbles

Fill my stomach,

And make it

Hurt.


Sometimes,

The bubbles come up my

Throat,

And choke me.


And sometimes,

The bubbles come

Out my

Eyes,

Ears,

Mouth.


And I can’t

Breathe,

Speak,

Or

Listen.

 

When the bubbles fade,

I am left

Shivering,

Cold,

And covered in

Tears.


I get up.

I leave the room.

I wipe my face.

I return.


The bubbles

Are

Back.


The author's comments:

Bubbles represents how anxiety feels. In this poem, the anxiety spilled over into a panic attack.
