Description My hands are shaking and my head explodes
It's a hyperactive overload
Running around all whacked out
"What's it all about?",
I shout into the crowd
No one listens as they all walk by
And I cry
My tears fall from the sky like acid
Down on my knees I pray for release
And some peace
Never knowing when it will cease

Images pass before my eyes
Of hopes and dreams lost
And it seems
That forever I will be here
Kneeling on the ground
Pulling at my hair
I swear I can't do this again
Please let it end
I'm tired and I'm weak
I know not for what I seek
And no one gives a damn that I'm a man
Walking on this earth without any plan

No one seems to feel the way I feel
Is it real?
Am I losing my grip on reality
A mental technicality?
I'm sinking fast
I won't last another day
I need a place, an island of serenity
With all the amenities of a better life
Get out of this abyss
And bear witness to the tremors all around us
And remember the way it used to be.

*Shudder

This speaks to me ... well, more like screams. There have been times when I wish I could put into words those overwhelming rushes ... but now I don't have to because you've done it here better than I could have ever imagined.

Panic attacks are horrible. So are nervous breakdowns. But you are not alone. I know people who have them as well as myself. I often feel very alone, abandoned, ignored and so on as well. But it'll be okay. Someday everythign will be alright. Until then you must take it in stride and face it with as much strength as you can muster. You expressed this nightmare of life very well. The careening feeling of overwhelming insanity int he middle of a crowded room is miserable. You bring that out quite clearly. To fully understand your piece a person must have to suffer similarly, otherwise only a sense of pain is picked up. But it is still well done. Have a nice day. And I wish you the best.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, knowing one is not alone is a very important thing. I'm glad that I have support in this thing, as many people do not, because they either don't understand it, or don't want to.

That comment in your signature by "some old guy" reminds me of a scene from the last episode of M*A*S*H* which goes something like this, where Col. Potter says:

POTTER: If you love someone you've got trouble. So you either stop loving them, or love them a whole lot more.
KLINGER: But if you love them a whole lot more, don't you get a lot more trouble?
POTTER: Yep. Then you just love 'em even more.
KLINGER: Wow. That sounds rough.
POTTER: It's murder.

Wow, I'd forgotten I even had a signature. Lol... That's a very funny bit from M*A*S*H*. I was never a huge fan of that show but it had its great moments. Thanks for sharing that with me. I'm glad you've got people who are willing to be there. Good day to you.
