Try to stop it
You can feel it coming
Nothing you can do
Heart pounding
Stomach clinching
World spinning
Panic
Tears may stream
It's getting hard to to breathe
Body starts shaking
Panic
Words run through your head
Leaving you for dead
People don't understand
Panic
You're drowning in your mind
Doubt strangles your throat
You want to hide
Panic
Close your eyes
Or stare at the door
Hoping the bell will ring
But you're stuck in that class
Hoping no one will ask
Why you're in a corner on the floor
Head in your hands
Your head filled with plans
Of things that will never happen
And when that bell rings
You'll be the first to leave
After this wave
Of panic

PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
