My poem in Full
The pit:

I fell down in the pit
The breath knocked out of me 
My tired body made contact with the ground
I felt like I'd never be found

Once at the bottom I look up, I'm calling for help
Crushed by anxiety, depression, crying, drowned out by my own sound

I just sat in that pit
Sat in the essence of that emotional release
Looking and feeling empty with my tear stained cheeks

Trying to wipe my face clean with my dirty palms
After time though I found some odd sense of calm

Instead of reaching up or staying down 
It occurred to me “ why not reach out and around”

To my surprise I found a strength that I couldn't doubt
A greater sense of power that I would not have survived without

Embracing the dirt with calluses on my hands 
Hugging tight every crevice on the way up

Taking deep breathes because that journey up 
 Yeah Its plain old tough

No longer solely focused the welts
I honed in the things that could be of help to

I'm grateful in my choice to find solace in my surroundings 
 It helped me find balance an essence of grounding



In this fast paced world how does a woman with ADHD find the mental energy and focus to SIT and write you may wonder?...
