Panic Attack

Some days are different
Right from the dawn
Everything seems chaotic
and nothing works
You get up late
And make a rush
Through the morning traffic
To your workplace

An assistant on leave
Other coming late
The one in the office
Totally sedate
Boss is on fire
The moment you walk in
And your clients start calling
About their case.

And while you are on a call
Your phone just dies
The system goes down
Just as you press, Enter

By now, on the verge
of exploding loud
You hurriedly hide
in your cabin
And breathe in a bag
To soothe yourself
But the panic rapidly starts
growing.
