Beyond the wooden door

Step;

By step;

By step.

Words said
to help my heart calm.
Though calmness don't have I,
evidence:  the sweat of my palm.

Fear, that walks,
with my heart's rapid beat.
There are no exits,
no matter how much I want to leave.

Ahead are found shapes,
that with my misery walk.
Their persistent existence, 
the only reason I can't talk.

Halfway am I,
when they scream from fury.
I, their little toy
and them, the big bully.

I faint, knowingly,
falling on the floor.
Right after thinking:

Tomorrow night
the same fate awaits me,
beyond the wooden door.
