Panic

By: MD Cashdollar

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
With shallow breaths
The next trigger
The next change
Hits my chest

I can't breathe
I can't

Racing heart
Sweaty hands
Buzzing head
Clenched stomach
Make
It
End

I can't
I can't breathe
I forget how
Remembering
My trauma,
My hopes,
and my home

I can't
I can't
I cannot breathe

Wanting isolation
Remembering Endlessly
Abandoning sensibility

Somehow, though
I'm still here
Trying
To
Fight
Myself
Myself
Myself

I can't
I cannot breathe
I can't
