Do you ever feel the panic,
boiling within you
wanting to escape
wanting to scream out

Do you ever feel the turmoil,
building inside you.
Wrecking everything.
Killing everything.

Do you ever feel the destruction,
coming your way
Threat closing in
Walls closing in

Panic.
Turmoil.
Destruction.
All imminent
Succumb or fight
You decide
