Rushing thoughts
empty ideas
heart beats fast
comprehension slow
going in circles
around a drain
around a block
lost or losing
 
eyes blink fast
like humming bird's wings 
no flight yet
 
tremors shake the world
foundations crumble away
giving structure to chaos
 
writing escapes the line
an inmate on the run
panic attacks reason
rising 
revolting. 
 
And the tension grows
crowding out lungs. 
Choking
my actions fail
my words fail
and them it's gone.
