Anadiplosis

Anadiplosis (an’-a-di-plo’-sis): The repetition of the last word (or phrase) from the previous line, clause, or sentence at the beginning of the next. Often combined with climax.

If you can’t handle the uncertainty, uncertainty may cause you to panic, panic may cause you to act without reason, and acting without reason, you have no reason to act, aside from your uncertainty!
