I shrink, my fears grow

by sarah-antilope

I sit alone in a room with all my fears fighting to enter my mind; As soon as the door to my brain opens, the fears pour in and my emotions unwind. I jump and I fall, I scream and I shout; Just hoping that the troubles will tremble out. My body loses control and I have no feeling at all; The minutes pass and I shrink, as my fears grow tall. I find my way under the bed and into a small corner; By this time my thoughts are huge and I am suddenly shorter. The twisting and turning of my unpleasant mind; Leads me to break down and begin to cry. I'm now crying and screeching as I can't stop this nightmare from ending; Only hoping that the pain will stop, and the signs in my body start resending. Hours have passed and I awake on the floor; Only wondering if everyone knew what happened behind my door!

Notes

I have never experienced anything as huge as what I wrote such as being alone in my own little nightmare while nobody knows what's going on; however, my point of this poem is that if you are going through a tough time and experience tragedies like this everyday you need to tell somebody and seek help, because suffering behind your door won't help you; it will just make things worse.
