Attack

By Micki McPeak   

Adrenaline
Fast Beating
Heart
Blurred vision
Short
Breaths

Panic
Can't
Stop
Need
Help


Deep breaths
in and out

Take yourself
To your favorite place
In your mind

Hug yourself or something
Get a hot drink
Make yourself feel
Safe

This Poems Story

This poem is literally just me going through the steps and process of having and then coming down from a panic attack. The first half of the poem, written in short, quick stanzas, tell the feeling of the panic attack; while the second half, which has longer stanzas, tell the process of calming down and the beginning steps of recovery.
