Panic Life Poem by Aqua Flower

Panic Life

Rating: 5.0

I hear myself crying. Help me! I feel so much discomfort and pain. My body shakes, my heart pounds. I feel like I am dying.
Every day there is no sunshine.....only the relentless rain.
This rain doesn't cleanse. It drowns!
Fear and Panic has taken my hostage. Help me!
I cannot eat, I cannot breathe. I can no longer see myself.
How do I rise to face another day?
Who do I run to today
As I don't know how to save myself.
I ran to my usual safe place. But it is no longer there
There is nowhere to go but to stay in this fearful place
I am numb, feeling like a spectator watching a horror show.
This is not me. I have been hijacked by anxiety
I am not present anymore
Too painful to exist
I ask myself over and over. Can I be fixed?

A vivid expression of pains and anguish of a panic stricken person. Counselling, care and empathy as well as proper understanding by family members will surely help him to come out of darkness.
