Too Close. Too Heavy. Too Much.

C     an you feel the pressure on your

L     ungs

A     s you suffocate in the darkness

U     nable to

S     cream, though the noise fills your

T     hroat.

R     ight up close, everything too near

O    r too heavy as it

P     resses down, crushes your

H     eart, squeezing

O     ut the pounding

B     lood that throbs at your temples.

I     t’s too much. This fear of

A     sphyxiation.
