Dark Shadows

You arc in the dark shadows vulnerable and afraid,

Frozen with fear and angst, your skull is on your toes.

Your arms detached from your ever thinning frail fingers.

 

Thoughts; loud, eccentric and blurred

Your body; your eyes, your legs,

Grow numb with anxiety.

 

Your mind a siren of screams,

Running from the secret you endure,

Silent shrieks echo in the halls,

 

Blood thunders in your head

As your heart pumps panic

You fall to the floor in fright
