panic
my head was Swimming
with all the onerous Demands i had to face
completely Overwhelming all of my senses
and commanding my Undivided attention.
my Thoughts and Feelings
started to Mix together
each Undistinguishable from the other
leaving me in a state of Confusion.
they wouldn’t stop Moving,
constantly Swirling around, Teasing me
by staying just out of Reach
until they got me to Break.
there was no rational Thought (or Feeling?)
“Just Scream!”
and I did.
i blew the Stars away.
i hoped i had scared my Demons away
but i only managed to frighten my Angels
who looked at me with Worried wonder
unable to decode my Cryptic cry.
i was left Trying to catch my breath
with Liquid draining down the grooves of my face.
my manic heartbeat Never ceasing its
Panicked pace.
