"On the other side of fear lies freedom."
I'd rather run away than sit here,
I know I cannot just disappear.
'Panic is an intense form of anxiety which is a normal response to stress. Rightly or wrongly, my brain senses a threat to my health and well being. These panicky feelings are uncomfortable but they will gradually subside.'
Just read. And repeat, and again.
I can't look up but I want to,
And I did not want to come but I did.
I told myself to face my fears,
Because then I'm deciding to see them,
Instead of them deciding to see me.
For a single second there,
I thought I was so brave,
But then I wanted to disappear.
