Panic Attack

December 13, 2019
By Anonymous

Your brain tells you exactly what needs to happen

So does your mom

So does your stomach

But your head has stopped

There is too much happening 

Paralyzed, sitting on the couch

Yelled at from all directions

Your mom, who seems almost angry

That her breathing exercises don’t help you 

And your head, who has blocked

Off the pathways that allow for movement

But screams for you to get up

It’s not that you don’t want to eat

Or blink

Or stand

You just can’t.
