I'm outside of my body
while I watch myself
come apart at the seams.
My chest is on fire
and I claw at my heart
beating hot and angry.
Electricity drips down my spine
and my limbs feel cold and alien
as blood rushes away from them.
I'm sure I've stopped breathing
and I want to run
but my legs don't work anymore.
"Impending doom"
a symptom straight from the NHS website.
"Frightening but not dangerous"
but it's hard to be rational
when your mind is making you sick.
I've felt like this before though, haven't I?
and yet I'm still here,
So I stitch myself back together, again.
It will pass.
It will pass.
It will pass.
