Elevators

I start to panic, a fear of being trapped inside emerged. From stories imprinted in the mind. with every gear shift I cringe. I’m safe this is absurd. Still thoughts race through my head. No one would ever find... Exerting my nervousness, my body begins to shake. Fear is the fallen tree decaying as time goes on; until there is nothing left, except for me to make, my irrational state of mind eradicate. The pain drawn- out for all to see, as it alludes to insanity. The screeching metal masks my internal screams. I tolerate the sound by saying profanities. As elevation alters my heart rate changes in extreames. My fear diminishes as time progresses, for I soon realize, that avoiding it would work against what I am advised.
