Engulfed in a state of silence,
a state of paralysis,
unable to move,
only to replay the thoughts,
that dissipates the sanity,
hanging solemnly by a thread
a thread of the finest silk
so fragile to the elements
......and yet it breaks......
and the fear consumes you
your heartbeat speeds,
your pores expand
and your fears percolate
...you panic...
you’re alone
you see the fluorescent light blazing bright at the end of the tunnel,
it’s warmth you cannot capture,
it’s glow can’t light your way
so you stay trapped in oblivion
the bottomless pit of fear
