Panic Depressive

Before heavy fog hits, it happens all the time;

try to contain in a crowded room,

always feels like combusting,

energy swarming like a riot.

try to contain in this crowded room,

and skin begins to melt from inside,

energy swarming like a riot.

suck in air but can’t locate lungs,

and, inside, skin melts,

feverish and wild; no one has noticed.

suck in air but can’t locate lungs,

grip that wrist for a beat and feel the bass line double time;

still no one has noticed. Feverish and wild,

eyes petition tears, and chest splinters all at once,

grip that wrist for a beat to feel the bass line double time;

the constant thump pacifies parts of panic, but still,

eyes used to petition tears, and chest would splinter all at once,

it always felt like combusting .

The constant thump pacified parts of the panic, but still,

Before this heavy fog hit, it happened all the time.
