Panic Attack
Write/describe a panic attack. Poetry or prose. Don't describe the events that led to the panic attack, but you can write a small introduction if you like. (I will be providing a panic attack of my own too :)
Dread
Everything looks so clear
Too clear like a dream
Am I really here?
Here comes the racing heartbeat
The dizzy head
The fear of someone noticing
My mind is sceaming!
You are insane! Run!
Get out of here, call 911!
The shakes arrive
Hey, am I breathing?
I can't die here with all of these people
I need to run! Run!
I have to call 911!
I always knew this day would come
To the looney bin, my life is done!
Is someone looking?
Don't you dare cry, I can just run
Yes run! Pretend I have to pee!
Whoa is me, I cannot die here
Wait...I can focus
Maybe the straightjacket can wait
Until the next time...
