My heart racing
Thumping
Vibrating my eardrum
Will I make it through?
Sweating
Remembering
Why?
What happened?
What caused it?
Should I inhale? Leave?!
Deep breathes
Calming thoughts
Outweighed
Breathing slows
Thoughts increase
Fight, fight, fight
Fight thoughts. Fight him. Fight it.
Lying down but body still erect
Emotions skip
To another body until it’s over
