The Feeling of Closing Your Eyes: A Poetry Collection by Hannah Claire Miller

By Hannah Claire Miller

One, two, three, fourI can never quite get to five. The highway is a frightening place to face my fears or to test if I even have any fears. The fact that I can never get past four seconds lets me know that I still care about my own life. The feeling of closing my eyes for those four seconds, I experience it all. I live my whole life in every second that goes by. It passes by like the cars that I speed past, with confused and concerned faces. So instead of counting past four, I write about what it feels like to sum up my life in just a couple seconds, or in this case, a couple poems that allow me to refuse those urges that I am still fighting: the demons of depression and anxiety that tightly grab a hold of me.

Hannah Claire Miller

I live in Monterey Bay, and I am currently a college student, sister, and daughter. I have been through many things in my life, obstacles, as we all have. I have written and compiled many journals and diaries that have enabled me to cope with the obstacles I am faced with since I was ten years old. This collection is from my college years, dealing with a deep depression and an anxiety disorder. Having such a wonderful release allows me to do some of the things I love. I try my best to see the beauty in my everyday life and try to be happy to be alive.
