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 :)

Recoil

Click

Oh shit

Someone pulled the trigger

And here I go

Mind racing

Speeding to a halt

Never going fast enough

Yet no one can keep up

My emotions

Out of proportion

Battling critics

Out of control

Heart pounding

Breathing stops

Soul in tune with darkness

Expecting the worst

Right from the start

Body aching

Terror overtaking

Actual reality mistaken

Hope and faith escaping

Those I love

forsaking

This is what happens to me when I get triggered in to an emotional flashback, they are much different than an anxiety attack, but also can have a lot of similar symptoms. hope that you will still accept my entry.
