Mental health - Hello Poetry

Warnings

Is it still classed as mental health
When your tummy warns
You of impending doom
You act accordingly
Only later finding out that
your fears were real
People you wouldn’t want to meet
were in places you were ment to go
And boom was it anxiety
Or was it spiritual connection
Warning you of impending doom.

Sometimes your tummy knows more than it lets on .

King of Limericks

OCD (part of an ongoing series)

There’s a need for severe repetition
And when objects are out of position
A ritual practice
Restores the exactness:
Obsessive compulsive condition

I spent hours meticulously reworking the syllables on this one. And still, it feels unfinished.

Anx

Anxiety
Forming
Taking shape
Like an alien within
Morphing into
Moving
Stretching
Getting comfortable
Taking over
Until
Paralysis sets in

I don’t get it very often really , but the thought of going to a noisy pub even though the music is going to be so good and even my daughter is playing and I’ll know lots of people is just too much today .
