She panics

She panics, panics, panics – unsure why:

Anxiety, unvalidated fears…

She asks herself what’s wrong: There’s no reply.

There’s just the silence that assaults her ears.


Her mind, so frantic – searching, finding not

Her heart beats violently, her breath comes fast

And now she wonders: Why does she feel caught?

What triggered this and when will it have passed?


Confused and nervous, scared and overwhelmed

She crawls in bed and pulls the covers tight

She grabs her pillow, wanting to be held

And then she reaches up, turns off the light


The stress of being anxious wets her eyes,

This girl who now breaks down, breaks down and cries.
