My heart pounding
My hands shaking
My breath, gone

My chest hurting
My lungs burning
My sanity, gone

I try to breathe
Oh god! I can’t breathe
I start to panic
Where is the oxygen?

I worry for the future
Is this it?
My heart pounding faster and faster
Am I dying?
Panic growing

Then, little, by, little
I gasp, and I gain some air
My breathing begins to slow
My heartbeats following suit

Soon I am no longer panicking
Soon I am okay again
