I glanced
At the clock
2:53
Time felt as if
It has stopped
Everything around me
Went silent
And all I could see
Were people around me
Talking mutely
I only saw their mouth
Opening and closing
No words coming out
No sound
No emotion
Just numb movements
My mind began to swirl
With thoughts
I knew nothing of
Shhh
I kept telling myself
It's all in your head
Deep breaths
And I did so
But my lungs felt
Like I was drowning
No air
Just a burning sensation
Where an innocent heart
Once was
I gripped the sides
Of my chair
My hands turning white
As a small lump
Formed at the back
Of my throat
Tears threatend
To fall out
The room started to spin
And everything became
Hazy
The world crumbled
Beneath me
Yet I was there
Watching it disappear
I was a prisoner
Of my own self
And the other side
Was winning
I took a deep breath
Hoping to stay sane
In this
Torturing moment
And glanced
At the clock again
2:54
