Panic Button
I have to constantly tellMyself just to relax
All of my unwanted fears
Aren't based on any facts
With unreasonable fears
That cause anxiety
Fear has a wide spectrum of
A great variety
One extreme to another
On one end, I get manic
On the other end of fear
I simply start to panic
I have had panic attacks
That have often been scary
I have to remind myself
That they are temporary
It is like inside my brain
A panic button's pressed
My mind interprets it like
I'm horrified and stressed
It's almost like a reflex
An instinct I must kill
I should never be ashamed
To swallow every pill
Seven pills to be exact
I truly have been blessed
To have meds available
In case the button's pressed
Lord help me to overcome
This bad spirit of fear
My mind can be so unkind
That's why I need you near
I know you can fix all this
Like a skilled brain mechanic
From now on, fear will be gone
Before it turns to panic
