Panic Attack

I want to scream And shed my skin Pull out my hair Escape within Mind derailed Strength fell flaccid Lost my marbles Floating on acid Picking scabs Until they pour Proper maintenance For my sore The edge of a cliff The fall, unknown Don't want to look back Hard place or stone Shame overcomes I don't know why Flush from embarrassment Mouth dry A voice inside Constant itch Not good enough Flip the switch Turn on the lights Rescue me please Don't kick me when I'm down On my knees Don't make me speak Or watch me chew Put me on the spot I forget what to do The world, it seems Is closing in My depth of field Is growing thin Rapid breaths Small air supply Oxygen scarce The more I try Sweat is forming On my face Pen and paper My saving grace
