fear.
at the bottom of the pit
lies a monster
it growls
it claws
and at the top of a cliff
the wind howls
the air thickens
and the fear pushes
down
down
down
a rabbit hole.
there's no end
to the thumping of the heart
the rigid feeling in the limbs
the drums beating in the ears,
quickening their pace
the heart, matching speed
arms, limp with
deafening silence
a cacophony
of fear.
with a thump
a thud
a gasp
the bottom arrives.
rock bottom
the skull cracks
blood oozes
and fear persists
a hand wrapping
round the heart
squeeze
constrict
destroy.
the monster unleashed
terror unfolded
and the lips separated ever so slightly
as vocal cords succumb to despair
and a tiny sound escapes
a little scream
a cry for help
a confession.
...i'm scared.
