"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -Christopher Robin


The world gets loud 

And then it spins

Time speeds up

And yet slows down

My hands

Instinctively go to my face

My legs

Crumple with the weight

My breath’s pace goes faster

Faster

My eyes go

Dark

Nothing is wrong

Nothing is right

And all I want

Is someone to 

Shield me

Block out the loud mess

But no one comes

I am alone in a strange place

This is a panic attack

Or atleast

One for me

It happens more on weekends

When I am alone with my thoughts

For summary 

Darkness 

Has a cold embrace


The author's comments:

I get frequent panic attacks. No one can tell, but I certainly can. It affects small things. Paying attention, balance, and the uncontrollable tears.
