Woke up in a panic

Woke up in a panic

Prancing all around

The thought of people walking by

Just a little sound

The footsteps getting closer

But then they move away

I woke up in a panic

For really no reason today

I'd like to start my mornings

With breathwork if I could

But as my thoughts wash over me

The could becomes a should

I shame myself throughout the day

For things I didn't do

I wish I could have woke up different

And start my morning anew

But this is what I got

So I play the cards I'm dealt

I turn it into poetry

To support my mental health
