panic

I've heard the word so many times

I read up on the meaning

So many family and friends affected by

but never knew the feeling

Its like the world just loses color

turns into blurry vision

then white and grey, they turn to black

and your heart surpasses beating

Your stomach starts to twist and turn

your brain, it starts to quiver

one second you are sweating the through

the next you shake and shiver

you lose your breath

tears start to stream

pressure tightens up your neck

you can longer see

a solemn reply in a message

a sad screen on tv

too many people, lights and sounds

overloading sensory

it happens like a whistle

a breath of air fine tuned

sneaks quietly in and like a gust of wind

and whips you away like a tidal wave
