Had an awful day and a half. Crushing work-related anxiety.
I'm better now, and wrote a couple of these verses in the midst of it....

Snippets pop into my anxious brain, and voila!
Glad they may be useful or amusing...

Waking... Hard to breathe...
Panic attack.... Fear of death.
But not now.... Not Today.

Thoughts in a tumult.
Mind endlessly spinning...
How can I break free?

Awaking. Shaking.
Nerves on edge... Ready to jump.
Fingers are trembling.

Why this feeling now?
No danger that I can see...
Unconscious worries?
