dread.

that feeling of dread, especially shapeless/due to depression

dread.

it wraps itself around you, a scarf around your neck.

uncomfortable at first, but over time it makes itself at home, the      itching goes away, and you're cold without it.

dread.

shapeless, a vapor, yet solid enough to hurt when you hit it head on.

dread.

walking up a down escalator, cliché.

not an escalator in a parking lot, or a nice hotel, but an escalator  in an abandoned mall, 

uninspired, uninspiring, home of memories but completely forgettable,  remembered but not missed.

dread.

feelings, tangible but lacking.

their weight perceptible, conceivable, valuable but without a buyer.

dread.

a cold night in a lukewarm place, could be better, could be worse,  neither a comfort.

dread.

apathy, loathing without fear, filling space but not occupying it.

dread.

a finite existence, directionless, uncertain, without meaning.

Wow...so beautiful. I guess everyone can relate at some point.

I really like the rythym created with the word "dread" at the beginning of each paragraph.

When i was young i was nervous being in public, had no confidence, pimples and the like. i felt dread as I do sometimes now. You capture the imagery well.

I like it a lot. A great definition of fear that i can relate with.
