panic

The state of one can influence the state of others.

sometimes I tell myself

Don’t Panic

but it’s all frantic

like all those lines

that act like words

in my notebook,

The Panic Notebook.

My Panic Notebook,

this goes to you

cause’ it’s like a hook

of something I should always do

when I Panic

and I grab the pen

in all frantic

Because I must not

I should not

I can not

Panic.

It can be anything

it can be nothing

because that’s all I think

and my cheeks go pink

from all that Panic 

that wants to come out

like water falls

maybe even when it’s all false.

I still ask myself

why do I Panic?

even when the words in My Panic Notebook read

“Dont Panic”

I try

I try

I try

And I cry

I cry

I cry

But I must not

I should not

I can not

I do not Panic.

Dear Panic Notebook,

don’t let me Panic

please, don’t let me.

I must not Panic

because then He Panics 

and They Panic

and Dad Panics

and I Panic.

Please, Panic,

I beg you to

do not Me,

do not Me, 

do not Me.

Because Panic must not

Panic should not

Panic can not

Panic do not Me.
