Panic Attack

Is this what it feels like to die alone?
An unending sense of impending doom
Boom boom boom pounding on hearts lonely throne
Trophy for most stressed in the room
Adorns the wall, toss it away damn you

Damn you all for bringing me here to this
Brink of sanity and to tears
Cursed breath won't come just wheeze and hiss
Breakdown of nerves and fears
Curse them all, get it away please!

Please just let me come back to sanity
I do not wish to die here 'lone
Come back and talk me out of this vanity
Cut straight out of hell's wicked tone
Damn it, I cannot breathe...

I would like to say the thought of insanity is very real if you let everything that is material cloud you senses. This anger is scary for me to read please don't hurt your self It would scare me to think your hurting this much. But i know you can get through it because it rough for everyone even now. we all need a shoulder to lay on.
