Some Kind of Panic Attack

The world has settled down and switched off its light it has closed its eyes to rest its head My brain has decided something else is in store for me as I climb into my bed Tonight my demons hold me they surround me and control me each one could tell a story of things i'd prefer remain unread I'm petrified, I'm terrified of what? I don't know It presses and crawls over me I shiver and shake out of control Hugging my knees in the dark fingernails gripped into my skin I can't shut down and time flies The world wakes from a sleep, I didn't join in Is everything bigger? I'm smaller for sure My minds screams, my heart races I tremble some more Someone turn me off Turn me back on again, maybe when I have control My soul doesn't want to live inside this body anymore I cry and my face turns a boiling blood red Can someone extinguish these thoughts burning all through my head? All of this and I haven't even gotten out of my bed
