Tanka 2

This pressure on me Rooms are closing in, can’t breathe The worst is yet here My heart is beating quickly Panic, this pressure on me © Holly P. Moore October 2012

Whoa! That is not a feeling I would wish on anyone. You've brought out the sense of panic well - the pressure, the inability to breathe, the racing heart -panic is not an ally. And to think the worst has not occured -more pressure. Aaaargh! Very well written Holly!
