Panic

It comes on slowly, 

I can feel it,

Growing in intensity,

It will not quit 

Wave after wave, 

Feelings of doom,

A brush with darkness,

Made Shadows loom 

Fifteen years,

This evil has stayed,

Wasting the life,

No mercy displayed

Drinking helps 

But it comes back worse

Whatever I do,

Deepens the curse,

Will it ever leave?

Who can say?

But Until then 

I can only pray
