Panic Attack
Write/describe a panic attack. Poetry or prose. Don't describe the events that led to the panic attack, but you can write a small introduction if you like. (I will be providing a panic attack of my own too :)

It hurts
It builds in the throat,
Clawing its way upward,
Sinking nails into sensitive tissue.
You choke on your own spit trying to Breathe in
Breathe out
It spills out of your mouth,
Puffs of trembling air,
Tiny gasps of desperation.
Breathe in
Breathe out
It settles in the stomach,
Dead weight,
Lead weight.
It just hurts
It grips the heart,
Brightens the face.
Your own body turns against you
Breathe in
Breathe out
