Panic Attack (My part in my downfall)

“Watch out, the world’s behind you!”,
he screamed.
I looked ,
and then ran

My God , he was right
How could I be so careless
I thought,
as I searched for this man.

I saw a light through the fog,
as it began to engulf me
when I reached it
I knocked on a door

I was greeted by silence
the door it swung open
and I saw
lying crouched on the floor

It was myself,I was breathless
tears filled my eyes,
I was scared,
I felt helpless with fear

I sat down beside me
Squeezed myself tightly
I told him,
“I have an idea”

I found a stack of self help books
on managing Anxiety
and with them
I blocked up the door

“The worlds locked outside now”,
I said to myself
“You don’t have to be scared anymore”
