Panic

by H. Elizabeth   Mar 3, 2013


Gasping frantically for breath
Eyes wide from the terror
Of the anxiety attack
I clamp my eyes shut
Willing it to stop
But it never does

PanicPanicPanicPanicPanic

All of my worries freed
In physical form
All of my emotions released
Through the blade
Eyes closed tight
Still trying to catch my breath

PanicPanicPanicPanicPanic

It feels as if the anxiety
Has control over me
Over my life
Over every little thing I do
I can never breathe

PanicPanicPanicPanicPanic

Panic.

    AH! You have adopted the Laurie Halse Anderson way. I am impressed.

    I love this piece. I'm glad to have been somewhat involved. Like knowing what some of it was before it came to be.

    Fabulous.
