Analysis of Panic Attack
Had said a thing or two to hurt you
Life around me wasn’t smooth too
It was one of those weekends that wasnt swell
There was a trigger or two, that did dwell
Felt I was lost, lonely and unwanted that day
Everything I had was just slipping away
I couldn’t analyze or separate things out
A domino effect created, my mind blacked out
All I could feel was my heart beating fast
Thought I was angry and it wouldn’t last
I put my hand to my tightening chest to feel
Only to realize they were shaking for real
I tried to put my mind to something
But could only hear my heart pounding
I did not know what next to do
Thought a deep breath could help me thru
Opened my mouth, but gasped for air
I was all choked up inside there
Wanted to cry but couldn’t do that either
My body soon began to tremble thereafter
I felt helpless that I lost all control
Thought talking would calm my soul
All people heard m, was just my mumbling
What more could I do, was puzzling
So I quickly tucked myself into bed
Thought I could sleep this out of my head
I stayed wide awake in fear waiting for it end
Don’t recall when sleep did finally descend
Woke up late next morning, tired and in fright
Was that a panic attack I survived last night?
