Panic

A poem I wrote about a song I heard

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale

In, out, in, out

Slowly feeling this process fail

My mind is beginning to fill with doubt

One, two, three, four, five

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale

I have never felt so alive

I think I am going to bail

In, out, in, out

Calm and steady now

I no longer feel like I’m gonna blackout

I can’t believe I made it somehow

The feeling of panic can be overwhelming. There has to be a distraction. Counting helps. I have to say I have never felt panic through music. That sense of calm that comes after the storm is a huge relief.

I enjoyed my visits to your work Blossom. All the best.

The song was actually about how everything is going to be ok and I wrote the poem as if I was a listener who was listening to the song as a way to calm down :)
