panic attack:

the walls close in, the air grows thin,
a silent scream begins within.
heartbeat racing, pounding fast,
a feeling that will never pass.

the room spins round, i cannot breathe,
drowning in the fear i cant relieve.
a thousand thoughts, they crash and roar,
like waves that drag me from the shore.

my chest is tight, my hands are cold,
the terror takes a deeper hold.
no way to run, no place to hide,
im trapped within this storm inside.

eyes wide open, yet i cant see,
the world around is lost to me.
in this chaos, i fight to stay,
but the panic tears my mind away.

im lost in fear, im lost in pain,
a whirlwind spinning in my brain.
until it fades, and i remain,
shaken, broken, just the same.
