Panic Attack

PoeticBiscuit

Flashing lights and warning signs popping up like ads,

A throbbing pain against my temple,

Stabbing in my chest as I attempt to catch my breath,

Gasping for air like there is a pillowcase around my head,

My heart beating like a drum at a heavy metal concert,

Trying to break through my rib cage as if trapped in a prison,

My body is overtaxed and my mind is failing,

I’m fighting a losing battle,

One that I’m afraid will cost my life,

There is nothing but silence around me but I feel like I’m in the midst of New York City on Christmas Eve.

I can’t speak so I just mouth the words,

      Luckily I haven’t had any in a long time. This is basically what I remember it feeling like. Definitely not a fun feeling. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment, they’re always appreciated!

        Good to hear they are no longer a part
        And pray they never re-start.

        Your poem though speaks volumes.
        Posted my response to Christina8, on her posting.
