What's it like
To be afraid?
Eyes darting back & forth,
Sweaty palms desperately trying
To hold onto something.
Anything.
Blood drained from your face
Eyes overflowing with tears
Of regret.
Of guilt.
Of fear.
You feel a dangerously soft brush
Across your clammy white fingers
A scream fills the empty hall
& you realised it was from your trembling lips
That a scream so genuinely afraid
Was let out into the piercing silence
The monster is fast approaching.
The monster of your nightmares.
It came for you. Only you.
Your heart becomes numb,
Your mind silently betraying you,
Telling you that you lose.
What's it like to be afraid?
It's a game where you go insane.
The end.
