Panic Attacks - Irrational Me

Rational me is capable and whole Irrational me has complete lack of control Rational me is happy and relaxed Irrational me panics and cracks Rational me views life in a positive light Irrational me battles crippling fear without hope in sight Rational me makes the most of every day Irrational me wants to sleep the day away Rational me is clear...has clarity Irrational me is afraid…engulfed by anxiety Rational me sees beauty and light Irrational me faces a darker plight Rational me lives life on the right track Irrational me suffers debilitating panic attacks

Hi Deb, this poem indeed speaks to me. PA's have been a constant companion all my life rather like a shadow. They retreat for awhile then manage to sneak back.... Excellent write my friend,

A FAV for my list, sweet Deb. A favorite relatable line is, "Rational me makes the most of every day Irrational me wants to sleep the day away." Beautiful rhyming Couplets my dear friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
