Paranoia

My entire body shivers
with a sudden distaste
slamming my eyes shut
my hands, cover my face

heart beating even faster
my muscles begin to tighten
lapsing for breathe
knuckles begin to whiten

then release, sweet release
my body begins to relax
but, there inside is it
the familiar panic attack

and it dawns on me,
is this what normal people go through?
