[bodytext] => My Panics are a problem; they’re very real to me They’ve stopped me going out the house, since I was 23 I sit here by the window, and watch the world go by What ever did I do so wrong? I wonder why and cry I went to see a doctor; he gave me just a pill It didn’t help me to relax, instead I felt quite ill I find it very hard though, just popping to the shop I hate these horrid panics; I wish that they would stop Sometimes I’ve gotten further than my garden gate Then my heart it pounds, I loose my legs Oh what a horrid state My head gets stressed I’m very hot, my stomachs swirling too I rush back safely to my house and quickly go the loo Why did I go to church that day? To be somebody’s wife He knocked out all my confidence and took my zest for life I heard him tell a friend one day, he liked me stuck at home Locked away no one to see, no chance that I would roam So that was it. I could take no more, and I bravely asked him to leave I think he was more than a little shocked that I’d given him the heave Then I met a stranger who really made me see This was no way to live your life, it doesn’t have to be He showed me how to work at it, and fight my fear with fear So I’m picking up the pieces now, inching forward year by year There are lots I have to live for, So much I haven’t done For now I’d be quite happy Just to walk out in the sun Don’t be sad by what you’ve read, I don’t think that I could take it I just need help to stop the panics; I know that I CAN make it. © Lynn Cowman [comments] => 1 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 61 [informant] => TheStoryTeller [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
