Panic Attack


My heart races Tears form Breathing struggles This happens often She yells then leaves Someone says 'shut up' I try to stay calm But I feel like I'm suffocating The panic rises I want to cry To hid away To bad my asthma has kicked in There is only one thing to do Lose the door Take deep breaths And pray I don't pass out Everyone is asleep But my throat closes up I feel claustrophobic In my empty room Darkness arrives finally There are no dreams Only nightmares Panic attacks me even when I fall asleep

You are made for the day, not the night. Sit in the sun and blossom :) You will make it through.
