Out Of The Blue

panic attack

It races along not a care in the world
Like an old schooner, mainsail's unfurled,
Up top all is calm, little too calm perhaps
Then it starts to unravel and fears a collapse,
Fresh fear up above drives it on faster below
Now it's really going, faster than a neutrino,
Palms are now sweating
As the heart beats so fast,
Head has a death grip now
Onto the mainmast,
Panic and terror now so overwhelm
Heart's out of control
Heads abandoned the helm,
I've been thru this before, time and again
Still doesn't matter I think I'm dyin all over again,
Eventually waves of panic reduce to an ebb
Hearts back in calm waters, control of helm with the head.
