Anxitey Attack

legs bouncing more than normal mind streched in a million diffrent ways Chest begins to tighten my head starts to lighten Energy build up overflowing like a cup hands shake mind break. panic rising energizing. Can't sit still. shaking gets stronger I cant Think strait. Hands need to move Air Shrinks from my lungs can't breathe can't breathe can't breathe can't breathe Forcing my self to take a shallow breath Heart rate speeding logic is fleeting Limbs shaking fear creating. c a n ' t b r e a t h e vision gets shakey I c a n t t h i n k s t r a i t I take a breath limbs shaking teeth chattering yet not from cold to my sanity I must hold. I take a breath mind blank yet buzzing at the same time I take a breath Letting the air crawl into my lungs pushing out the rest I take a breath my hands slow their dance shoulders retreat from my ears I take a breath hands stop and take a bow their dance has stoped I feel the spastic energy slowly working its way out leving thought my feel Leaving me drained. Limbs heavy molten lead walking in my veins to lazy to even run Head lolls to the right eyes staring off sleep begging to win done shaking so tired so sleepy at least I'm done shaking
