Panic Attack
Write/describe a panic attack. Poetry or prose. Don't describe the events that led to the panic attack, but you can write a small introduction if you like. (I will be providing a panic attack of my own too :)
Panic
The walls begin to close in.
Breathing faster.
Don't touch me.
Sight lined with black.
Head filled with clouds.
The clouds are storming.
Thunder, roaring, I can't hear myself think.
Lightning strikes, each bolt doubles the feeling.
I can't breathe now.
My lungs are closing.
I stagger and fall, but did I really?
Which way is up?
Where am I?
I said don't touch me.
I need to go.
I can't walk.
I need to get out.
I'm trapped in my head.
The world is ending.
Yes, it's about me this time.
MY world is ending.
