Panic Attack

Gray

I’m Drowning.

I can’t reach the surface, struggling to swim up for a breath of air.

I’m suffocating.

It feels as though someone is squeezing my lungs, and sitting on my chest.

It’s overwhelming.

A pit in my stomach, and a violent shiver like I’m freezing and can’t get warm.

It’s deafening.

My heart intensely pounding out of my chest, my mind racing in absolute panic.

I’m dying.

the only eligible thought in my head. Is this it? Is this how I end? I can’t help but think that this feeling will never go away.

I’m drowning.

    May your life fill with the lightness of air and you raise to the surface and see the wonder of the world that is there for us all.
