Faster and faster it goes

Striking at any moment, it did it today.
I don't remember what I was thinking about, or what triggered it.
But it started.
I began to shake.
My heart burned and beat
Faster
Faster
Faster
Faster
Faster.
It seemed to speed up at very shallow breath I took.
Tears burned my eyes and went in a shaky line down my cheek.
I was scared.
20 minutes.
It stopped
It's the shortest I've had in a while.
I was thankful it wasn't another long
1 hour
2 hour
3 hour
And rarely 4 hour.
My panic attacks are one of the worst my many therapists have seen.
I'm a lost case.
