Glued in the corner, Transfixed by fear, Of irrational things I cannot change, As panic covers up my eyes I don't know what I see, Start to shake, so want to run away, Unable to move, Escape is mercy, Shaking incessantly, Terror strikes, Heart pounds, Reaching for evasive breaths, Unable to gasp, Laugh, Initially just a chuckle, Followed by laugh of lunacy, Then tears, With tears relief apparent, Tears bring mercy, Escaped at last!
