1. Breathe
Panic, worry, darkness closing in around me.

as I cry internally thinking I've lost my sanity.

Poems about Emotions

Teens and adolescents often have feelings of an intense nature that are difficult to handle. Teens may be embarrassed, thinking that there is something wrong with the feelings that they have. I have three words for you, share, share, and share.
