Attack

Attack

The walls are shrinking.
Closing me within.
There's no beginning.
And no end.

I can't breathe!
I feel frantic!
It's all spinning.
I commence to panic!

Black spots appear
Before my eyes
Can anyone hear
My voiceless cries?

My heart is pounding
Oh so fast!
Sweat breaks out
Don't think I'm gonna last!

My pulse is erratic.
Not enough air.
Nausea rises
Fits of despair!

Am I dying?
Or goin' crazy!
Fearful thoughts
Seem so hazy.

Shaking, shuddering
Body's so sore.
Slowly it eases,
I can breathe once more.

Until next time
When it comes again
Panic!
The nightmare that doesn't end.
