Description PaNIc:
8/20/2011

Strangulation
of the stress,
the rush,
the need,
the pull.

I can't resist.

Pressure
increases.

I
  can't
    breathe!

Short
  sharp
    breaths,
panting
hash
uneven.

Save me
from me.

Broken
pattern
gains back
normalcy.

Slow-
    -ly
ve-
  -ry
slow-
    -ly.

Regulate my breathing,
the deeps pulls
of breath
I hold
as long as I can.

I love the formatting, short broken lines only one or two words long, it feels like hyperventilation, well done.

It does feel that way? That's what happens when I panic, so I associate it ^^ It's the feel I was trying to get

Oh yes, the way that it reads, that how it feels when I have a panic attack, it certainly came across.

I tried to use the form to give you the broken, strange feeling a panic attack can induce...

I'm glad that it gets through to you when you read it...
