Panic Attack.....Sorry but I've had to repost this poem. I can't edit the other one and it won't accept comments either?

This is for any sufferers out there to let you know that I understand what you're going through, It is also for people who've never had a panic attack in their lives. You are lucky! but if you feel anything after reading this poem then all you have to do is multiply that feeling 1000 fold and you still won't have a clue how bad they are but you may have a little more insight and understanding...I hope so, anyway here goes :

Panic Attack

It starts with confusion, gives way to panic,

Breathless disorder, then full on manic,

No escape, of that no doubt,

Hits like a sledgehammer,

He needs to get out, in the open, anywhere, just away from here,

Give him a chance to confront his fears.

Blank faces, staring, are they looking at him?

Do they even notice the tempest within?

His mind, so confusing, the sheer desperation, fights to hold onto controlled respiration.

Thoughts bombarding, no time to make sense, mind overloading,

Life seen through a lens, distorted vision, concave now convex,

Animal instincts, his muscles flex,

Fight, flight, whatever it takes, no rational thought in decisions he makes,

Strangled cacophony, voices mingle, jack hammer thunderous, body tingles,

With shocking power, careful not to touch the souls he sees, that he wants so much..............To be like.
