I'm sent to see

Dr. Rainth, the psychiatrist

He lets me keep the door

Open as he explains what

Is happening to me

I thought I was dying

But that would be

Too easy, this

Crazed heart beating

Sweating shaking

Stomach hurting

Has a name

Anxiety attack

And he will add

Little white pills

To my regimen

Until I've learned

More coping skills

How long will that take?

I ask

How long have you got?

He laughs

Time, everything takes

Time.
