You feel it coming on.
It crawls,
Crescendoing down
Your sweat beaded back.
Sending cold rushes
Through your veins,
Like chilled, rapid pumped poison.
Leaving little bugs
Crawling under your skin
Making you feel like a stranger
In your own body.
As your eyes widen and empty,
You become hyper-vigilant.
The world caught in your throat.
The ocean caught in your eyes
While thoughts race recklessly
Through your head.
Than they crash,
Like drunk drivers on lone streets
At 4 in the morning.
