Anxiety

A glimpse of darkness and light

Despite the Sun shining;

And the people smiling

I am in Darkness, bound by

Helplessness.

Screaming on the inside.

Anger

Self loathing.

All burn in my throat.

And I cry an ocean of tears.

In the black pit.

Why do I feel this way?

Whats wrong with me?

What can I do to stop?

But...

There is a Light 

In the distance,

As I climb out and run desperately towards it.

Is it hope? 

I can see a warm hand reach out.

 A friend? Family?

I grasp it to pull me,

Out of the Black

And into the Light.

Seems to me you're describing an inner struggle with yourself stemming from anxiety. Something preventing you from enjoying life. Perhaps your depression? I could be wrong, but it seems you are trying to escape, hoping someone will notice and help you. I relate to this.
Thank you for sharing. It's well written.

Thank you. I aim to improve on my writing skills and yes I do struggle with issues, but who doesn’t these days.

True, I used to counsel, I've seen so much of this kinda thing, aside from my own. My best friends struggled a lot. Just know that you're not alone and nothing lasts forever. Not good things or bad. Your writing will improve with time I'm sure, as of now it is exceptional. You are gifted with words. Please excuse my change of tone, I apologize if it is confusing...I have a disorder, makes it difficult for me. Keep fighting, keep writing...and have a great day.

That inner struggle is hard to face, even harder to accept and express.
Well written
