6i think i've been in space
deer in the headlights
frozen fear
can'tsleepcan'teatcan'tthink
running- not fast enough
running too fast can't see my feet
can't see my fear
and my breath is coming in gasps now
floating on the tide of blood
rushing to my head
my world is a blazing white light
moth drawn to the porchlamp
and my wings are on fire
reality is quicksand
steady underfoot until
you realize you're drowning
helpless, sinking,
because this is real and you are not
dreaming anymore
