Panic Attack

So last week it was my first week of 9th grade, and I was in my professional communications (speech) class. We had to tell 3 stories about ourselves. I'm a really shy person and hated talking in front of a bunch of people. I got half way through my first story and had a panic attack and couldn't finish it was so awful and embarrassing and I couldn't do anything about it. Please read and comment.







So afraid, but I don't know why.

Shaking, trying my hardest not to cry.

Terrified, I don't know what to say.

I can feel everyone's eyes on me.

Take deep breaths, they come out shaky.

You're telling me I'll be okay, but you don't understand the way I'm feeling.

I try my hardest to be brave, and quickly wipe the tears away.

Now terrified you'll laugh at me, I have nothing else to say.
