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
