Glitter, Poem

I found a piece of glitter

Laid out on the floor

While I was spread out beside it

Panicking deeper than I ever had before

The reason for my anxiety

Did not always have a mindful cause

But I usually tried to remain calm

& give my life a pause

I’d practice deep breaths

With a positive thought

Even though sometimes

I could feel so distraught

But when I found that piece of glitter

It gave me a happy feeling inside

It reminded me of the night

That you looked at me with pride

I had a cup of hot chocolate

Warming me up

While we strung Christmas lights

& You had your own cup

Its amazing how a simple piece of glitter

Can awaken a good flashback

Or maybe it’s just the thought of you

That always manages to pull me out of a panic attack
