Panic

Electricity accelerates through the veins,
Out of nowhere, speed of light and sound,
Surging around, making way to the heart,
Where it stops and hesitates,
A moment of thought,
Where it waits,
It debates,

How much you can take,
Whether you will wither under the strain,
Whether you will cringe and break,
Or adduce that you are stronger,
Defeating this irrational fear,
Finally putting it in its place.

Sparks rush towards the heart, jumpstarts,
Pressuring it to beat ten times faster,
Like piercing water, the blood turns cold,
An electric shock, uncontrolled,
Soars through the body,
Reverberates in the ears.

You watch with dismay,
As your whole world falls away,
Right before your sorry eyes.
