Panic Attack

I'm running.


I'm running

And I'm terrified

And I can't look back

To see

What's behind me

And it's dark

And I don't know

Where I am

Where am I

I'm lost!


I'm lost.


This twisting path

Darts in and out of the trees

And something follows me

Dark night

Bright eyes

And I can't decide

To live or die

Surrender or run

And I'm running

And why am I running

Because, yea

I don't want

To be here

But where am I going to go

That's anywhere else?


Anywhere else.


I'd go anywhere else

But here

God, here

Here where I don't know

Who I am

What I'm doing

Why I'm doing it

Why I'm here

Why I fear

What I can't see

Or hear

Or feel

I just know

That it is there

But what is it

Why am I so scared

I'm so scared.


I'm so scared.


I'm scared of you

And me

And here

And there

And where

Where am I

Am I trapped

Am I free

Why is it dark?


Oh.


Hello.


How are you?


Yes, I'm fine.


Do you watch Steven Universe?


Oh.


What about Thomas Sanders?


Really? Awesome!


Have you seen all of Sanders Sides?


I know, he's just adorable!!


Yea, but he's not my favourite.


My favourite is obviously the most adorable of edgelords.


No, nothing happened today.


Panic attack? That seems pretty extreme.


I was just angry.


No, I don't get panic attacks. And if I did, they certainly wouldn't be connected to emotions like anger.


I mean, those are so different!


Well, I have homework to do.


Seeya later!


Of course I'll get it done, but I have to go.


Bye.


I've had this sitting here for a while, and I just decided to post it, because this is... different, from other poems that I've written. Please don't judge me too hard based on this.
