You came out of the wall

And followed me down the hall.

I know there's air

But it feels like it's not there.

My heart is pounding,

I'm getting nowhere with grounding.

Last night, I had a severe panic attack with hallucinations. The visuals were similar to the image I used. I was choking on air, tight throat, crying, and shaking so bad.
