Panic Waves
Fear grows like a seed
On the irrational it feeds
Anxiety is what it breeds
Wedging itself to mislead
Acid cascades into my throat
I swallow that panic slipping in
Like a shockwave, a jolt I shake
For not having enough time
To hold on to my breath
Before the waves of panic
comes crashing in!
I keep my eyes closed
And take a deep breath
I will not allow fear to conquer
Opening my eyes, I refuse to cave in!
