The Power of a Panic Attack

The powerful palpitations pounding in my chest, Will my heart with stand this test, Another attack has just begun, Abracadabra out it sprung. Piercing pain constricting my chest, My ribs collapsing, the attack conquering its quest, Each breath harder, sharper, shallower than the next, My fingers hastily clawing at my chests raw flesh. Panic awakens my pale plain face, Every gasp leaves a lingering lifeless taste, Time is of the essence, prayers wont save me now, The devils claws run deep and are dragging me down. Awaiting me, a fiery hell of tortured terror, My lungs burn is my soul to be condemned forever, Just one deep breath to save my soul hear me saviour, I beg of you I am not ready to meet my maker. Finally the attack releases my air way, The fatal fear and fantasies begin to fade away, I have survived another panic attack today.
