Claustrophobia confines me Noise is muted Time slows down The sound of my racing heart fills the air The world turns like a haunted merry-go-round And my sight blurs I gulp in stale air The smell of mass body odour stings my nose My palms are sweating Fellow humans beside me turn into snarling aliens My body shrieks at me to run But the ground grabs my feet with clawed fingers Panic is overwhelming common sense I am losing my mind A scream slowly rises to my throat DING The doors open One sigh of relief And my body gratefully flies out into freedom Never again

Claustrophobia
Claustrophobia confines me Noise is muted Time slows down The sound of my racing heart fills the air The world turns like a haunted merry-go-round And my sight blurs I gulp in stale air The smell of mass body odour stings my nose My palms are sweating Fellow humans beside me turn into snarling aliens My body shrieks at me to run But the ground grabs my feet with clawed fingers Panic is overwhelming common sense I am losing my mind A scream slowly rises to my throat DING The doors open One sigh of relief And my body gratefully flies out into freedom Never again
