When Panic Sets In

To Thaney Cora

                                            That moment when panic strikes,

those voices creeping in,

from the shadows of your brain.

Weaving their ribbons of doubt,

whispering to you their deadly sins.

Make the cut

Tighten the rope

Take the dive.

Just close your eyes

block 'em out

Breath in

You can do this

You're stronger then them.

Push them away

Make 'em run 

with their tails between their legs.

When Panic sets in 

It's easy to cave.

To listen to the voices

sweet like candy.

But it's just candy coated doom.

Hold onto your will

You can do it I believe in you

You'll come out of this 

A Winner.
