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

    Love is an open door?

    All you need is love?

    Love story?

    I know that feeling

    A bit differently

    Not quite what the song was intended for

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
