I have just been told about this thread, and wanted to post my latest poem here. I am by no means a good poet, having only just ventured into this form of expression over the past month or so. But I do find it a very good way of self expression. You can say things in poetry form which you wouldnt say otherwise I think. And I find poetry to be the most honest form of expression I possess. I find that the only time I write poetry is when I feel really down, sad, distressed, afraid. Its a very emotive thing.
Anyway here is my most recent contribution. A poem I wrote a couple of nights ago. I suffer from PTSD and anxiety often hits really hard. My hubby is currently away for 3 weeks, so now is one of those times where I am struggling more than usual. I hope you like my poem. 
Anxiety
Why is it that my anxious brain simply will not allow me to forget?
Some images and fears are still so vivid that I break into a cold sweat.
Therapy has helped me see that things are not always as they appear.
I've challenged my inner thoughts, and know there is nothing to fear.
Medication I take to reduce adrenalin which is needlessly produced.
Attempts to slow my heart and the hope that a restful sleep be induced.
But still this anxiety is a part of me, day and night, tearing me apart.
The shaking, inability to catch my breath, and madly beating heart.
It seems that anxiety will never leave me, so embrace it I must.
It is my body's natural alert system, and now I must learn to trust.
Hey @Silenus
I'm off to work now so I hope you have a really nice day. 
Hope it's sunny where you are. Chat later on today. xxoo
