Helpless/ Hopeless
A vague sense of terror
Comes over me in waves
Threatens to engulf me
As the tide rises
I watch in horror
Unable to move
Feel like I'm dying
Knowing I'll be fine
Might aswell sight tight
It'll be over soon
Sensory overload
I start to shake
Shivering and burning up
Finally, it passes
Leaving me to wonder
When the terror will return
Comes over me in waves
Threatens to engulf me
As the tide rises
I watch in horror
Unable to move
Feel like I'm dying
Knowing I'll be fine
Might aswell sight tight
It'll be over soon
Sensory overload
I start to shake
Shivering and burning up
Finally, it passes
Leaving me to wonder
When the terror will return

A burst of anxiety it sounds like. I'd image this is how people feel when they are looking into the eye of a tornado that is about to rock their world.
