Can't remember what this style of poetry is called. Again, trying to work though my emotions and anxiety with creativity instead of continued withdrawal.
Edit: The style is called acrostic. Thanks ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

Warning: Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety is a difficult beast to subdue.
Nothing and everything can set it off. It can
X-out your strength to keep striving forward.
It can make you feel worthless. It
Encourages you to feel guilty for not having enough spoons
To cope with everything by yourself. But
You are not alone.
Reach out there, almost
Everything is fixable.
All you need is to be patient and gentle with yourself.
Call on those who love and support you
Help is available. It's
Out there. I
Understand that it's hard to ask for help sometimes (all the time) but
Try it, good help can be hard to find but so worth it the effort.

A free-verse poem, expressing a lot of my feelings for the last few months. I know I've been silent but I find it hard to interact when my emotions are this all over the place. Feeling more even and stable now – we'll see how it goes.

An attempt at writing tanka.
“Freedom”
Freedom, it was
something different to
many people.
It could be a grand thing.
It could be a small thing.
Size did not matter.
It was not the important
thing to freedom.
It was choice that mattered.
Having it and making it.

by shiori_makiba
I missed prompting and signal boosting for Magpie Monday so I wrote a quick gift poem for dialecticdreamer. Which she requested that I post to the blog so here it is.
“Surprise”
Something happens, it is
Unexpected but sometimes that is a
Really good thing. It could be
People you have missed calling out of the blue or
Receiving a 'just because' gift. Or
It could be something nice done just to see you
Smile. And
Everyone deserves to smile.
