It was panic

 

The palpitations from my heart

Fuck! You gave me such a start.

I find you very frightening

Can’t you see the plight I’m in?

 

The buzzing seems to fill my head

My body fills up with such dread

Your humming makes my pulse race

For you I cannot seem to face.

 

I’m bigger, better smarter then you

But so scared of all the things you do

If you come near I scream and shout

Use strategy to put you out.

 

My veins pumped full of adrenaline

This phobic of you, tiny thing.

Can’t see the point of your existing

The fear from you, your painful sting.

 

 

Fermented apple, drunk and blind

Head dive in my glass of wine,

Stripy body yellow and black

Not ready for this wasp attack.
