#hyperventilation
Fits of hyper-venti-lation
With no seemingly logical explanation.
All you’ve done is say those six sharp words,
That are now stabbing you in the back, just like swords.
Your thoughts jumbled up in a giant mess,
Lost in all of the dark, heavy stress.
And it’s all pressed
On your quivering, fragile chest.
It feels like a never ending pit.
No one seems to understand it.
And now all you’re left with,
is that dizzy-making, stomach-churning hell of a fit

My heart is in throbbing tone
My hands are as cold as stone
Sleepless, I become restless
Shortness of air, I become breathless
Controlling emotions seems helpless
An emotional distress
In the realization of my hyperventilation
I get dizzy and sleepy
My mind is on overdrive worry
Voices have strained my mind
And the Echoes have drained my body
Into a slumpy Winnie.

Attack, pressed, cornered
Trapped with no where to go
Expecting, watching, judging
How can I speak when I'm out of breath
Disloyal, appalled, betrayal
Warm faces disguise cruelty
Rushing, gushing, maddening
A lump in my throat, tears threatening to flow
Misunderstanding, misdemeanor, misery
Have to fight the tears, give no satisfaction
Frozen, paralyzed, immobile
Quietly surrendered to the abyss
Crazed, insane, dementia
They can't get me now
Masked with their actions
No emotions shown
They've got me
But I too, have got them.
