POEM STARTER

Submitted by MBK

“Then suddenly… it’s over.”

Write a poem which ends with this line.

an attack & an awakening

My breath hitches

And suddenly I’m wheezing

Can’t seem to catch my breath

No one even seems to notice


I newer is racing

Tears ruching down my cheeks

It feels like I’m dying

Death seems better than this, save me please!


My knees shake,

And my heat pounds,

I start to loose my footing

Loose all hope of solid ground


The world is falling

From right underneath my feet

All sene of normalcy

Is being swept from me


God save me, please I beg you

I don’t want to live this life

There seems no point to anything,

no need for my strife


They say I’ll come out

Stronger from this pain

Forged in fire, heart turned to stone

Melted metal, clay to mold


The panic seized me

Constantly

My stomach clenches

Endlessly


It’s a vicious circle

Yell and cry

Sometimes I wonder

Why I chose this life


And then, before I can fathom it

My life has found a four leaf clover

The world begins to shift,

And then suddenly it’s over


Is this mental health?

A panic attack

Why would something like that happen to me

I wish I could go back


Time seems to still

And I stop breathing entirely

I just realized I have

A crippling anxiety
