I am giving you the direct order to calm down. Right now.
Calm down like the paper due tomorrow got pushed back a week
Calm down like you just robbed a bank and your team's van is far ahead of the cops
Calm down like there was a zombie apocalypse but you still have your twinkies
Calm down like the girl that you've loved for years finally said yes.
Who am i kidding? PANIC
Panic like your parachute is sitting in your car, forgotten
Panic like there actually is no tomorrow
Panic like there are only 17 Almonds left
Panic like you just saw a dinosaur
Panic like it's the top of a roller-coaster and your seat belt is broken
Panic like you just got shot
Panic like all the rum is gone
Panic like you have ten seconds to eject
Panic like the silence before the answer you dread.
Panic like they have landed and they do Not like us
Panic like you heart has stopped beating
Panic like you can't breathe.
I like this. The turn around in the middle seems abrupt but I like your specific detail. All of those things that you said to calm down about are calming (yeah, papers being pushed back!)and alternately, the things you said to panic about are things I would normally panic about (because I totally see dinosaurs every day...).
