Panic

My head is pounding,

My body is shaking.

No, this is not astounding,

So much aching.

I can not help my panicking,

So many thoughts,

This can not be happening.

I am seeing spots.

Barely standing,

So much is unknown,

Everything is so demanding.

This is not my zone.

I can not hold on much longer.

No, it is not starting to fade.

I am not getting any stronger,

I am so afraid.

There is nothing else to do.

Tired of crying,

This needs to pass through.

It feels as if I am dying.

I will not let this be my downfall.

Starting to feel alright,

This was a close fall.

There is no more fright.

I know this is not the last,

But it will not be my downcast.
