How do i make this sound better?

[cheche]

This is a short paragraph for my Lit class..I've trouble converying the message of him feeling really uneasy and is ...(panicking, amost reaching break point)..I want a tear out of him but not him crying or losing too much control (eg crying horribly..)..Anyways, here's what I've got..

"He struggles but can't get free. The frustration grows inside of him, and each failed attempt pushes him further into breakdown. The pressure intensifies, with each exhalation quivering even harder. Reaching breaking point...(IM STUCK RIGHT HERE)...... "

Thank you all!! :):):wave:

Hi there. What you've written sounds good to me!:) I'm not sure if this helps, but maybe you could describe his facial expression too?
