Poetry: Panic

THE ATTACK

My skin is clammy, hot and cold;
My pulse begins to quicken.
Unrest has got a stranglehold;
I'm simply panic-stricken.

With thumping pressure in my chest,
My vision's turning blurry.
Is it a cardiac arrest,
Or just a case of worry?

A fevered cramp contains my brain,
As chills convulse my form.
I simply cannot bear the pain;
I long to be lukewarm.

Pick up the phone! call 9-1-1!
My body starts to thrash.
The storm subsides, a hit-and-run,
A flying wild hot flash.

    The feeling

    For no reason at all

    Or so it seems

    The moment comes

    Fear

    Bubbling up in my chest

    Toying

    I've examined my life on some paper,
    To be honest, it's not looking good,
    Bills need paying, no food in the fridge,
    I feel

    Resubmit: "Don't Write That"



    only alone do you believe there are
    secret messages written under your skin
    and it's poisonous
