unsettling it has become

tremors that unsettle the body

a soul under attack

oxygen that escapes the lungs

feeling drained by the second

the mind fading to dust

a red fog clouding the eyes

the beating of the heart tenfold

spreads like a wildfire untamed

burned becomes the stone

muscles begin to tick tick tick

a spasm that goes unchecked

helpless it begins to become

shattering my world becomes

no hope in sight can be found

its power is deadly

silent it arrived

how to rid of it one knows not

what can we do but let it run until it never ends
