things happening to fast
left in the dark
shaking uncontrollably
anger swarming
fear swelling up inside
bottling everything
having to hide
unable to breathe
unable to stay still
unable to think
trying not to break
a ticking time bomb ready to burst
ready to strike
chained in place
caged
needing to run
restraining the urges
not wanting to make things worse
concern about the future
not budging when told to leave
seeing the hurt and fear in her
