Clouded, scrambled thoughts

Sharp, aching stomach

Hot, flushed face

Shaky hands, shaky arms

It's 3:00 a.m, I want to sleep

But panic, panic, panic

The panic will never stop

Fluttering heart, rushed pulse

All I can do is pase and pase

Back and forth, back and forth

And pray that it might go away

I stumble my way to the bathroom

I feel completely nauseated

But nothing happens

I just sit and wait, sit and wait

I hold my head in my palms

My right leg is uncontrollably shaking

I'm waiting, waiting, waiting

For this episode to end

I'm just wanting to die

I want to know now, is it over?

Can I safely go back to sleep?

I cautiously return to my bed

And I pray it won't ever start again
