Fear

Your heart ripping in your chest

Beads of sweat running down your face

Screams escaping your lips

Your hope drifting until there isn’t a scrap of it left

Tears running down your face

Shrieks in your ear telling you to run

The uncomfortable taste or your dry burning mouth

The dizzy feeling overwhelming you- blurring your vision

A tree leg stands up from the ground

You topple over it

The last trace of faith evaporates

You lay on the ground motionless until the darkness decides to take you away.

This sounds like a poem that is "to be continued" - it has a horror movie feel to it. I like it.
