Panic Attack

Panic Attack

A Poem by Calypso
"

This is what a panic attack feels like.

"

Going crazy.

Bugs buzzing in my head.

I felt like screaming.

 

Heart betting faster then

I can control.

Palms sweaty, head spinning.

 

My heart is going to erupt from

my chest. Blood will pour

all over the walls.

 

I feel ready to fight,

to scream, or to attack.

I’m ready for anything.

 

My mind races and my pulse

quickens. I take a pill

to remedy it, but it

only knocks me out.

 

My breathing quickens,

and my chest tightens

I can’t even think.

I've had panic attacks and the last three lines are so typical of mine. It's good.

I've never had a very serious panic attack before. Sure I worry and get really nervous, but not so much a panic attack.
Anyhow, wonderful job explaining what it's like. I never knew for sure and now I hope I don't know the feeling. I'm sorry you have to suffer such a thing. :/
Good job, though! And thank you for the review. :3

very nice discription, and its sad about how you describe this feelings of panic attacks

Sounds very unappealling. However, I think I may have suffered one of them recently myself and I must say this was an excellent description of what I felt. i had the fear of God and the taste of death in my mouth. It was quite frightning.

Matthew

My friend Blake has one of those most often. It's very depression, but I like this poem.
