Panic.

Trigger.
Adrenaline runs through my veins.
Heart throbbing in my chest
Paranoia conquers my mentality.
Beads of sweat trickle down my face
Slowly, life drains from my lungs
Fists clenched, my body shakes
Who are you?
The walls begin to close in,
Surrounding me.
I can't breathe.
Where am I?
I wait for the nausea to set in.
I feel like I am going to faint.
Deep breaths are of no avail.
People watch as I pass by.
As I wander past the staring eyes,
Oxygen escapes from my body.
Each breath becomes more
unbearable than the first.
The room begins to spin,
My vision is a blur.
Shapes and figures circle me,
But I am completely alone.
My body becomes cold,
and the air turns warm.
My lips start to tremble.
Gasping, I wait for it all to end.

Author notes

I haven't added any new writes in quite a long time. I doubt that I will ever finish this one, but I decided to post it anyways, because it depicted some of the things that I experience when having a anxiety/panic attack.

    WOW

    As I wander past the staring eyes,
    Oxygen escapes from my body.
    Each breath becomes more
    unbearable than the first.

    That's my FAVORITEST PART
    you know .. I don't normally read free verse
    Because people use it to just jot down some words
    and then they call it a poem
    But you know what
    THIS is what I call a poem
    SO much emotion, so real, so lively
    Excellent work here sis
    And as I've told you before
    You haven't lost that touch
    and my god .. If this is what you call rusty
    Wonder what the shiny ones are gonna look like

    Love ya sis ♥
