Panic!

A Poem by Lin

I experienced this a lot last year

Can’t move.
Can’t think.
Terrified.

Stand as everyone stares.

Head being squeezed.
Being squeezed more and more.

Eyes water.
Tears make rivers.

No control.
Lost control.

Let it happen again.

Stuck.

Calm down.

Shake away everyone that crowded around.
“It was nothing.”
“Don’t worry.”
They go away.

Continue the day.
Don’t let anyone know what happened.
That it happened again.
