Panic Attack


Eyes wide open. Mouth closed shut Hands clinched in fists, like the one in my gut. Whole body shivers. Nerves too much I guess this time I'm shit out of luck. Air forbidden entrance. Fear sets in. I can tell when it happens by the tightening of my skin. Heart racing, pulse chasing Blood boiling for want of oxygen World swirling in a mix of colors like the bile in my throat Vision blurring, Head aching Sweat like rain drops pouring down. Like a broken record player I can't make a sound

Currently I am finishing up advanced training in the culinary field in San Francisco. In about 6 months or so I hope to be attending college for English and History. As of today I have finished writing my first novel and am in the process of editing and rewriting it. I am also compiling a book of short stories and poetry that I hope will be published in the future. My hobbies are writing, reading and drawing.
