Panic Attack, poetry by 
@naquoya.
Day 26 of 100 for 
Panic Attack
A heartbeat tries to make itself known
by announcing its intentions
at one thousand miles an hour.
Moments ago all had been still.
Now that moment has broken
and the dark night crept in.
Neurons dance to the sound of their own beat,
laid down in a tempo that defies
all compassion or empathic details.
The breath is forgotten, like a stranger,
like a bearer of bad tidings who has
come back for more.
Uninvited, he sits by and watches
as a crushing weight tumbles down.
Not the first time
but each time is never unique,
nor incomplete.
Suffocating,
pulsating
its insipid demands,
its crushing weight.
Until a memory returns;
Breath.
