That quiet girl

Panic attack

Scribble scrabble scribble scrabble

My pencil on the paper

Drip drop drip drop

My tears falling on this poem

Scritch scratch scritch scratch

My demons trying to break free

Gush gurgle gush gurgle

The waterfall of anguish inside

Wish whoosh wish whoosh

The raging tornado within me

Inhale exhale inhale exhale

Attempting to take slow, deep breaths

 

Trying to stop the panic attack I know is coming
