Feeling overwhelmed
A wave of nausea grows
My mind now pulses
Uggghhhh...
Suddenly Im feeling super sick...
Not even aspirin is helping so go be safe,
I'm gonna hit the hay and post the freeverse tomorrow.
Sorry guys :(
I wish you all a good night!

I am sorry for letting my emotions
Force my body to their will
I wish my heart was a
Simple possession I could ****

I feel sick, brain all wrong
Healthy eyes cannot see
The invisible illness residing
Spinning around inside me

Constantly battling worry and fear
Stomach turning with unease
Every day new war begins
Between myself and this secret hidden disease
I think I have undiagnised anxiety

Nights like these
I even tried to take a shower
The water seems to calm me when it comes down in it’s torrents
like the rain
yet that hasn’t worked out the monster that my body tired
my stomach knotted
and my mind racing in unease
Nights like these
Tatiana Apr 2018
I have fallen to my aching knees
at a parking lot full of unease.
I cannot shake away this cold freeze
my grip tightens harshly on my keys.

I feel that eyes have managed to seize
control of my mind like a disease.
My shallow breath is barely a wheeze,
safety here has no real guarantees.

I will watch so carefully for these
fake eyes to show up after a breeze
and to move closer with snake-like ease
to see if I will start to beg, please.

My dripping nose twitches with a sneeze,
yet the slight motion does not appease
the consuming sickness that will squeeze
the last drops of me into the seas.

Temperature dropping in degrees
the terrible night won't hear my pleas.
Those fake eyes that watch in the old trees
I'm so very sorry to displease.

How can it be so, that no one sees
that my mind has felled me to my knees?
I get up, so this torture will cease
I leave the parking lot of unease.

9 syllables in each line and a rhyme scheme that gave me anxiety. That's what this poem is to me.

Disclose your constellations,

Bathe in his celestial seas,

Stretch your arms through the void for the sake of lover's unease.
Somber is a poem that expresses one's anxiety when it comes to realizing how nervous and brittle the other lover feels regarding commitment. Perhaps it's reasonably difficult for the individual to sail in unfamiliar waters--for commitment is a sea that has never been explored before. Give that individual plenty of time and plenty of space. It's hard, truly it is. It's hard to suppress your intimacy in a time where you feel as if you should give more. Be passionate. Be prudent. Be patient.

They come in their hundreds of thousands,
floating magic carpets over our seas,
drowning, crawling up cruel sands,
bringing raw life, fuelling unease.

Salt for our wounds.
Tonic for our lethargies,
exorcizing the liturgy of myths.
Earth's orary grinds on.
