A 5 Minute Panic Attack - A poem about heartbreak

 


Pushing the walls with all my strength,
trying to break out of my head.
Tight spaces help with loneliness.
They seem less empty.

But the room can be full
of people I can never reach;
from within my mental prison.
Locking away the pain
sealed away my heart as well.

The touch I can not feel,
the music turns to screams
Reaching out requires strength
but all my power goes to holding tight
to the last hints of sanity.

Keep breathing.
Count to ten.
And again...

Till the tears are gone
Till the pain fades
Till the fear is just a memory
of lives past and lovers lost.
Till the moment
silence is broken
laughter is heard again
and the music returns once more.

Time doesn't like changes because he is stubborn. And when he has spent what is, in very plain terms, Eternity, planning out how everything should work out, you can't just go ahead and mess things up. He will be mad. More than that. He'll be furious! And then, terrible things will happen. To you. ...
