Claustrophobia

thump thump thump

my heart echos 

disappearing into the darkness

tink tink tink

a piercing bell sounds

cutting through my eardrum

sweat trickles

down my back

moistening the ground

cramping pain

my mind is suctioned

into a tight wad

hidden under my skull

my limbs are tense

everything shuts down

with a burst my heart bangs

trying to break out

my ears scream

determined with frustration

my back is drenched

all exertion wasted

my mind bursts out of its ball

pushing into my skull

without asking my limbs

shake and quiver

nothing

everything

thoughts race

antagonizing pain

nothing is useful

everything is pain

no air

breathes are precious

so far apart

not enough

need for more

more air

all I need is out
