Poetry – panic attack.

Trying to breathe

     pain in my chest

can’t breathe

    my throats closing up

help

    why are all these people staring at me?

I can’t control it

    my hands are sweaty

I feel light-headed

   my hands and feet are numb

my heart’s pounding out of my chest

   feelings of dread

I think I’m going crazy

  a wave

               of panic

sets

               in

    I think we’ve all felt something like this at one time or another. I’m no stranger to it. Great poem. You captured the emotion and the experience.
