<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
Panic Attack
Sometimes I cannot sleep
the fear of death scratches from within
I just don’t know what to do
my nerves are wearing thin
Not knowing how I should feel
as reality has faded away
I dread another panic attack
happening on any given day
I can’t stop this scratching
from an itching soul inside of me
It causes unsteady breathing
causing me to awake erratically
When the demons touch my soul
I am not aware, as I am deep asleep
Until I find myself walking in circles
my heart pounding, the reaper has come to reap
Once again
the reaper doesn’t get his way
I make it through these moments
and I live yet another day
I don’t take medications
they are another fear for me
So I continue living this life
with a tormented soul and demons that will not flee
If one of these days
from my sleep I do not awake
I pray to God I have gone to heaven
and my soul the demons did not take
