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! 23.8.2021 Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker Contest Name: Fear Transcendence
