Panic Attack







Sitting so solemnly I have unsolicited thoughts
My heart beats rapidly with no control
The room slowly grows smaller
Walls are closing in around me
A feeling of claustrophobia enhances fear
My body shakes as if I am naked in a cool breeze
My breath becomes shallow as I long for
oxygen to hungrily fill my lungs
The phone rings and the children cry as if in the far off distance
My body looses all control
In through the nose out through the mouth
My breaths become more rhythmic
My bursting heart slows its rapid pace
The world seems larger now
My eyes focus around me
I smile, it's over now
Gradually, I return to the present and continue
on with my life with a false feeling of control
