Fear

A heavy darkness surrounds me,
pulling me into its embrace.
Flashes from my childhood flood my mind,
bringing with them the pain from the past.

I start to shake.
I feel my head getting light.
A scream supresses itself in the back of my throat.
My mouth opens,
but no sound comes out.

I close my eyes.

Silence.

It's over.
But the darkness still hugs me close.
