#panicattack poems on Hello Poetry

Sometimes I like to think I'm a lady
Them I remember I'm wearing ***** shorts and a satanic tee

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm smart
Then I panic and fail another test

Sometimes I like to believe I'm all better
Then I have another panic attack

There is always room for improvement and acceptance

Lights Out

Shaking

Tunnel vision

Dizziness

No precision

Almost gone

Blurry vision

The world spinning

Vision fades

Lights out

Gone today

nighttime

9:32
something feels off
not wrong
but tonight will be rough

9:47
my chest hurts
so much
i feel trapped in this shell of myself

10:04
dizzy, shaking, afraid
laying on the bathroom floor
nobody can see me

10:12
ive started to cry
too dizzy to stand
cant open my eyes
my body is wrong

10:19
it will never be over
drying the tears
time go back
be who they want me to be

dysphoria

panic

eyes are dripping like gutters after the rain
hands are shaking like an addict's
breaths are short and fast like someone who ran a race
mind is stu-stu-stuck like a br-broken record

Unhinged

Clouds yell angrily
Rain eats at the ground
Screaming chaos
swirls all around

My head rolls back
My eyes turn pitch black
My mind starts to crack
My grip begins to snap

I know I'm not crazed
I know I'm still sane
But the wind still rattles
This broken window pane

I have to move
I have to do something
I know I'll lose it if I do nothing

I don’t feel okay
I don’t feel fine
I'm plagued by something
I cannot define

I feel dead
Yet also alive
I'm starting to wonder
if I'll survive

My mind goes astray
My head starts to sway
I have to run,
I have to get away.

Something pierces my petrified panic

Permeating peace
Out of darkness I fall
Hearing heaven’s call
Perfect release

Though I’m still left sore
From that horrid dream
God, it seems,
sees so much more

To you, who feel too much.

I sense a lot;
my saturated feelings
consume me, eat me,
clench my heart,
and softly pet it

as though it purrs for me to move,
to breath, to keep existing,
when no existence is enough
for me to feel alive
and present.

Anxiety

Panic stifles, suffocates.

My throat feels dry; a clump,
that brings disquiet in,
sticks there like a hull, a twig,
and moves its sharper edges
along my trembling soft insides.

"Get out!"
I would scream,
"Get out, worries and my fears.
Remain, serene feeling."

P A N I C

Pressure around my lungs cutting off the air
Agitation and alarm shooting through my veins
Negativity surrounds my thought in a haze
Inkblots in my vision from asphyxiation
Crushed with the heavy weight of it

Part six of a series I'm writing called "The Little Words".

This poem is titled in the long and verbose manner of a pop-punk song from the mid to late 2000s

Alliteration isn't cheesy
Not for me.
When I use words to stave off the clutching squeeze of
A panic attack
I can write:

"There is pressure on my chest and I feel anxious."
or
"Pain presses me into purgatorial prayers."

Alliteration becomes the stutter into which I
Skid to a stop

Today has been a rough day. Here is me, publicly coping.
