[Critique Group 2] Emailing: Panic Attack---For Group 2 12-19-19 critique session.

[James]

Hey There Friends of Group 2,

This morning in the mad rush of setting out for work, I inadvertently sent
this piece to the B.O.E list. My intention was to send it to Group 2. So if
you see it twice, now you know why. Got 3 positive reviews which is a nice
outcome for my error. 

Enjoy, Brad

Panic Attack
or
Another breakdown moment 
CBy Brad Corallo
Word count 137

I can feel it welling up
a dirty rising tide. 
Oh God, here it comes
another breakdown moment.
trapped in my body and mind.
Tears bring no relief.
Thoughts dialed up to 
uncomfortable fast track setting.
Slow shallow wave of nausea in the gut. 
Suddenly there is an invisible cage.
A crazed animal held against its will.
Circling within iron bars. 
What to do? 
Where to go? 
Sensations ratcheting up!
I am profoundly alone!
I tell my self:
"it's just another breakdown moment,
it will pass!" 
But until it does? 
I inhabit a howling wilderness,
where even the possibility 
of love and hope 
is unimaginable. 
It is very cold here! 
Sorry, there are 
no postcards I can send, 
just this wretched poem.
Scratched out in a breakdown moment.
