Panic

Here I sit alone on the chair,
I'm wondering how on earth i got there.
One day I was fine, I was doing alright.
Then the next day it was all fight or flight.
Feeling of fear have got in to my brain,
Am I dying or am I insane?
I don't understand what me this way,
I'm scared and I'm shaking for hours a day.
I don't want to go out, but to scared to stay in,
Even the quietest of noise sounds like a din.
The light is too bright, but I'm scared of the dark.
I'm too tired to think and I can'teven talk.
What on earth is happening to me?
To be away for one hour, it to long you see.
I'm ashamed and embarrassed as I tremble with fear.
I'd scream for help, if I thought someone could hear.
I'm hot and I'm sweating as my blood starts to cook,
I try watching TV, I try reading a book.
My chest istight, I feel faint, I feel sick.
I'd turn and run, but my legs feel like brick.
The phone starts to ring and I'm curled up in the floor,
I'm frightenedand shaking, I can't take anymore.
I try to relax, because I just want to sleep
But my throat is too dry and my heart starts to leap.
I' curled up rocking, to and then fro.
Backwards and forwards, but the symptoms won't go.
I feel alone, no one understands,
I'm stomping my feet and wringing my hands.
I don't want to eat, I think I'm going mad.
What did I do to get punished this bad?
I want to be normal and happy again.
But what can I do anxiety has taken over my brain.
I try togo out, then a little bit more...
I'm right up the street and away from the door.
Distraction's the key, so I must keep going,
Calming thoughts, so relaxation in flowing.
I'm starting to get well, I can manage a smile,
It's been such hard work and it's taken a while.
So be brave, fearless and strong
Take little steps and you can'tgo wrong.
So don't be afraid if your chest feels tight
Take some deep breaths and say you'll be alright.
Staying calm and controlled, that is the key,
Try hard, dont give up and soon you'll be free.
