The ugly frantic sounds of me gasping fills the room

It grips me in its careless hands once again

The gasping rips through my throat

The slightest tilt of the head back

In the futile efforts to hold my weakness at bay

The burning need to let it spill down my quivering cheek

My leg begins to quake

As the tempo of my tapping foot increases

No, not again

Shaking fingertips run over old scars

I can't do this again

Anything but this

Just not again

As I begin to fill my heart take off

The sound thundering in my skull

It's begun

I have no choice but to ride this wave out

I have no choice but to let it consume me
