Are these lights growing effulgent or is it just me? Everything in sight becomes a blur as my eyes unwillingly lose focus. My body begins trembling excessively and nothing can seem to bring it to a halt. All of these voices are rushing at me from every direction but I cannot seem to interpret any of them. I hear, “you’re okay sweetie… You’re okay.” Feeling so helpless, next I am gasping for air, as if this serpent has me in a choke hold with his lies and fear. Right when I feel like this is going to take me under, my heart begins to slow until the pounding, pound pound pound, begins to fade. I am left with a weak body, a crazed strand of thoughts, and a streamline of tears making their way clear down my cheek.
