"Seeing Red"

Trapped inside this head of mine

The noises so loud it is impossible to think

I blink back the tears, once, twice, a third time

Finally I just let them fall free

 

The walls are closing in

I'm panicking, I'm scared

I'm hyperventilating now

I'm thinking oh shit is this the end?

 

Teetering on the brink of insanity

Fighting my way though my thoughts

The madness inside my head

I'm seeing red, I'm seeing red

 

Breathing frantically, shaking petrified

I stand, I turn, I attempt to run

There's nowhere go, nowhere to hide

Just 4 thick walls with no life inside

 

I can feel my sanity slipping away

I'm fighting to hold on to it for dear life

The noises inside my head are loud

I'm seeing red, I'  seeing red

 

Danger, danger

You're losing it, get a grip

I clutch my hand to my chest and breathe

I count 1, 2, 3

 

It's too late now

I'm too far gone

My head is aching, the pain too strong

The panic attack still not gone

 

The pain subsides, my thoughts clear

The panic attack gone full gear

A moment to breathe, stop, reflect, what brought me here?

The moment just abundantly clear

 

I'm seeing red, still seeing red
