To breathe means that you’re comfortable

But here I am
As I plunge into a sea of despair
Surrounded by the dreary depths of the unknown.

Chills run up and down my spine
Goosebumps bloom along my skin
I try to warm myself up
Yet the cold is just a blanket that is too heavy to bear.

Blurry bodies swim before my eyes
Lively laughter flows on the airwaves
Spreading across the atmosphere like tossed confetti
Echoing in my head like catchy melodies.

Laughter slowly dissipates into deafening silence
The air is as thin as a thread
My lungs scream for air
Breathe! They yell. You need to breathe!

But my mind is overflowing with fear
Shrouding around like a cloud of doubt
Ricocheting off the walls of my skull
Circulating in my bloodstream
Clogging my veins, my arteries, my lungs, my heart
And my body goes cold and limp like a corpse.

I know this won’t be the last
Still I question
When will it strike again?
