Ode to Panic Attacks
October 24, 2022
My chest is moving,
I count my breath.
1, 2, 3, 4...
My feelings start to roar.
"Calm down",
I scream to myself.
It'll be over soon,
It'll be over soon,
Please, be over soon...
stop,
Stop,
STOP.
My hands to my chest,
The stabbing pain will only last a moment I say.
The birds sing out my window,
The sun is blazing in on my pillow,
Won't I ever find this peace?

This poem was based on a discussion I had in my Women's History class. We watched a video about a news reporter (Dan Harris), who had a panic attack on national television. I think I inserted his point of view into how I felt when I had a panic attack about a month ago when I was alone in my room. It's scary.
