Holding onto the last straw
as they say
with my sweaty shaking hands
trying to calm the pacing breath
the shivering in my spine
I step out
with a rebel body and mind
mine yet not mine
I am not your "normal"
but equal
if the scale to measure
is not blind to mental health
I am taking my blog to the next level with Blogchatter’s #MyFriendAlexa.
Not what I was expecting but I love how simply and powerfully you have explained the concept of anxiety. All the best for Alexa!
ReplyDelete@Suchita yes this time didn't make it factual, the link to the factual post is now above in the post. Thanks
