Sudden Flight

and all of a sudden

there were too many people.

i couldn’t breathe.

i couldn’t think.

there was so much noise,

and i desperately wanted to flee.

I like the simplicity of this piece. Props to you for writing this during a panic attack...

heh, thanks... i felt like i was whining when i wrote it, but i really did just want hide away in a quiet corner. i guess that's why i didn't end up adding anything to it later on.

I've experienced panic and anxiety attacks, sounds about right.

Sounds like a panic attack, your words tell it exactly like it is, and for no reason sometimes it comes on and makes us conscious of our breathing.

it's strange how thousands of thoughts can go flying by, but only a few, short ones come through clearly--usually only the most basic ones, it seems.
