Palms sweating on the steering wheel I try to chat Hold on tightly I look ahead Red lorry, yellow lorry My breath catches in my throat as we approach the bridge Parallel lines pass me by Don't look I know how high up I am If I wanted, I could drive off this bridge... With one... Lines Flick... Lines Of my wrist. My stomach rises and drops too fast I feel like I'm falling Releasing dread and panic Adrenaline and tears She gets angry but tries to calm me down Down from the bridge Get down Fall off Fall off the Earth *Be ****** out* No gravity Oh God, no gravity I try to breathe I breathe I breathe Hold on tightly We're off the bridge I try to chat Palms sweating on the steering wheel

My Anxiety - The Drive
Palms sweating on the steering wheel I try to chat Hold on tightly I look ahead Red lorry, yellow lorry My breath catches in my throat as we approach the bridge Parallel lines pass me by Don't look I know how high up I am If I wanted, I could drive off this bridge... With one... Lines Flick... Lines Of my wrist. My stomach rises and drops too fast I feel like I'm falling Releasing dread and panic Adrenaline and tears She gets angry but tries to calm me down Down from the bridge Get down Fall off Fall off the Earth *Be ****** out* No gravity Oh God, no gravity I try to breathe I breathe I breathe Hold on tightly We're off the bridge I try to chat Palms sweating on the steering wheel
This is a poem about a recent drive over a bridge in which I had an anxiety attack. I've been suffering with anxiety following some work problems & feel writing it out might help.
