Attack of the Panic

OMG! your poem chilled my blood (good title) although I have different issues, a panic attack is a panic attack!!! great poem as it takes the reader on a specific trip, and that trip ain't great, for sure! your language is good, the reader doesn't stumble over the words, so it is smooth as silk! so easy to read. my panic attacks if my husband holds me too closely. or the covers are too tight! I hate feeling bound and helpless. it is odd because in the case of emergency situations, I have been the first to act. (sensibly) anyway...

I loved these lines:

Locked in a chamber of my own secrets
Afraid because the world has shut me out
Dying because becoming a burden is too much
When I scream no one hears my anguish
They only see me smile

*warm smiles to you ;) Cat

after reading your poem, I suddenly had a vision of the Cheshire Cat! [I believe that seeing your last line "They only see me smile" and the poetess' name "Cat" in the vicinity, made this happen. Of course, I do believe that "Alice" was having a panic-attack, when she fell down the rabbit-hole; and maybe all that combined? Anyway, I wish to commend you for being able to articulate the emotions so clearly, that you made it a very interesting read. Welcome to Neopoet! If you keep writing like this, you will have a good following here in no time. ~ Geezer.
