Heartbeats are ringing
Inside my head

I hear them clearly
They are my own

It’s fight or flee
An adrenaline shot
Echoing through my veins

A struggle
Within myself

My more rational brain
Knows
There’s nothing to fear

But try to tell that to me
The one who feels it
The struggle
The panic

To fight or to flee
That’s the question

My body transform
It knows what to be done
I don’t
I can’t focus
I’m panicking
I’m hyperventilating
I can’t breathe
My legs go numb
I stand still
I can’t make a decision

Fight or flee

A tiresome struggle
An internal war

I don’t know
Just let it stop
Let me breathe

Please
Please
Please
Please
