It is often hard to feel loved and safe,
During a moment of anxiety.
With the feelings of insecurity,
Desperately seeking your happy place…
Emotions make it hard to stay stable,
Especially if you have not eaten,
It can feel like everything will threaten,
Often the kinds of things without labels.
You feel you’ll drown in the spinning morass,
And cry out while you reach for an anchor,
A lee of safety from all the rancor,
And you tell yourself surely this can’t last.
And then a kind word, or a hug perhaps,
Loved and safe away from panic’s attack.
