The Truth About Anxiety

Mental Health Poem by Zara Yasmine, Year 10

· Students Stories

Creative Advocacy Initiative: How can I work towards the Kingdom of God (in relation to my chosen issue) in my sphere of influence?

www.publishers.studio by Zara Yasmine, Year 10

I’ve dug a hole.

A deep hole.

A deep, deep hole.

I’ve dug myself a deep, deep hole.

And I’ve lain in it.

Rolled in the grains of dirt beneath my body.

Closed my eyes and imagined that this was all I had to do.

But when I opened my eyes again,

There was no hole…

No deep, deep hole.

No dirt, no stains.

No evidence to say I had ever been there.

Instead…

There was a mountain.

A tall mountain.

A tall, tall mountain.

There is a tall, tall mountain.

And I try to climb it.

But every time I get to the top…

Every time I get close to overcoming the tallest mountain I’d ever faced.

I fall.

Down…

Down…

Down…

Back into the hole.

Into the deep, deep hole.

This time I don’t lie in it.

I stand and I run.

Away from the tall, tall mountain.

Away from the deep, deep hole.

Straight into a maze…

Straight into a puzzle…

I don’t try to escape…

Because I know where I’ll end up…

Lying in my deep, deep hole.
