Affliction

What A Panic Attack Feels Like

In,
I take in a breath,
But it doesn't reach seem to reach my lungs.
Out.
Sharply I exhale,
I
Breath,
Can't
Breath,
Breathe.
Exhale.
The air feels heavy and it makes it harder for me to breathe.
In
It's getting harder to breathe.
My cheat heaves,
Up, down, up, down.
Nothing is getting to my lungs.
Tears start to well up in my eyes.
God, can someone help me.
