Emergency! I’m Having A Panic Attack
A senryu chain poem about how scary having panic attacks are
The same black chants
play inside my noisy brain-
recorded voices.
I listen to them
as I breathe like a jogger,
sweating with great fear.
My body is hot
and red as chili;
very sick and tired.
I grapple to breathe,
think, talk and walk-
I'm mentally frail.
Come on, come on, quick!
It's a big emergency
and I can't operate!

I love finding people who just fully understand what it’s like to have mental health struggles. I loved reading this and it’s the perfect reminder that we are never alone. 💚
