Panic Attacks

I thought I had gotten better

Thought I had everything under control

I have everything under control

Right?

I thought they were gone

But they're right there

Sitting behind me

Breathing into my ear

Waiting for the worst time

To pounce

I thought I could breathe

In and out

I thought I was fine

I was good

I thought I could think clearly

Blue skies

Calm skies

But the clouds came back

Into my mind

It stormed

It poured

I couldn't think

I can't think

I thought my heart

Would beat normally

But it beats

Like a hummingbird

Too many

To fast

I thought I was safe

Safe from the attacks

The panic attacks

  • Kid Or Adult

    We're only kids

    But we need to be

    As mature as adults

    We're little kids

    It's not safe

    But we're basically an adult

    So we can have adult responsibilities

    We can't stay up with friends

  • Her Hope

    She’s little

    Not even 8

    But she has hope 

    Hope that shines

    Through her blue eyes

    Hope that dances

    Across her face

    Just like how she

    Dances in the rain
