Go grab that, 

that, the serrated edges

go grab that. The tip 

go grab that. The mirror

The eyes of disappointment 

staring back at you

You are not of value 

You were not useful

There's a blockade 

Playing in your mind like a movie 

Rewinding to the suspense 

Your lucidness tries to save you

Each encouraged outside voice erases momentarily 

Reminders of convulsions 

Would have been in your future or rather your past 

Tall suits telling you what's best

But remember 

you broke out 

You didn't let the system penetrate you

Just wake up and reach out 

Reach out into arms

Reach far out

There is no abyss waiting 

only embrace 

Audio Narration Coming Soon

Author’s Note: Hi I'm Anna, My passion is art and writing. I look at my writing as art, being able to share is a gift, a gift I want to give everybody of my art. 

A little bit about me, I'm not a stranger to panic attacks as I have them every so often as well as since 2006. I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder, an ongoing journey of making sure to take care of myself holistically and through talk therapy. I guess you could say for me to write my prose and share my written art is very therapeutic. I am currently working on a book about my time at Art School, and so far It is very healing quite a beautiful excursion to be on.  

Some other side things about me is that I love to bake. I love to crochet. I love hiking and I love the Chicago Bears like my Pops. I hope you all enjoy my written art. Thank you so much!
