What you can't see

With me deeply. You captured the exact feeling of anxiety/panic all within a well constructed poem. Well done.

Repetition and anaphora can be powerful. You’ve used it well here.

we all panic! Our anxiety breaks down the fence and runs away; we just have different triggers. Many times, they don't make sense to other people; but we can't help it! You hit it right on the head here. Good job, all the way around. ~ Geezer.

What goddamn ride those panic attacks are. Sorry you have to go through them. I do to occasionally and thankfully less frequently and less intense in recent years. My sister once called an ambulance thinking she was having cardiac issues. This is very real.

Study the mechanism of the vagus nerve. It’s a fight or flight response to the invented threats of your thinking. Research it. It helped me immensely knowing the physiology behind this madness.

I have only had a few of them. the first one when I was eleven. I know what you have gone through and it is my hope for you that you have few of them, far apart and in between lucid moments.

It is an intentional technique that the author uses throughout the poem. Repeated lines in a poem serve as a mnemonic device. Repeating lines in a poem can also help create emphasis or urgency. When a line, word, phrase, or stanza is repeated, the reader notices. They are drawn into that detail. Authors can use repetition to help drive home an important message within the poem.

And this is a typical example. Well delivered piece!
