Panic AttackA Poem by Typhoid KelseyI woke up in the middle of the night having a panic attack for the first time in years.My heart won't slow-it's killing me My lungs won't go-I cannot breathe In the night don't remember waking Such a fright sweating and shaking I wasn't having nightmares. Things creak around and shadows tend to sneak around and I wasn't having nightmares. Things creak around and shadows tend to sneak around but I wasn't having nightmares. Smothered up-these sheets are choking Covered up-heart beats are stoking Thought-up fear for no good reason Interfere with my mind's treason I wasn't having nightmares. Things creak around and shadows tend to sneak around and I wasn't having nightmares. Things creak around and shadows tend to sneak around but I wasn't having nightmares. © 2008 Typhoid Kelsey |
