Suddenly,
You can't breathe
No matter how hard you try
Uncomfortably,
You fall to the floor
And then you begin to cry
Cautiously,
You think real hard how to breathe
You just try to remember
Hauntingly,
You begin to shake
You aren't at all limber
Nervously,
You have many thoughts
And your heart could only pound
Emotionally,
You don't move at all
Just lie there on the ground
Gradually,
You feel as if to die
Suffication of the air
Strangely,
You might begin to choke
But nothing holds you there
Rapidly,
You heart beats more
And you try to hang on
Spiritually,
You pray to God
That this won't last long
Eventually,
You breathe in deep
It doesn't hurt as much
Thankfully,
You stand right up
Maybe even laugh and such
Hopefully,
You don't go through this
For it causes so much pain
Dreadingly,
Panic attacks will come
But I hope never again!
Excellent poem, I have panic attacks too so I could really relate to this.
