feet glued to concrete
limbs shaking wildly
pulse has tripled
i cannot move
terror surrounds
jaws locked
anguish cries out
i am surrounded
the perfect storm
anger swirls menacingly
doubt trembles in fear
loathe strikes electric
i cannot focus
my eyes have blurred
was that a smile
or a bullet?
i am lost
narcotic-induced
incapacitation
nebulous days
followed only by
tenebrous nights
with evil thoughts
i am the afflicted
a victim
my emblem exposed
naked, they see me
for the child i am
their tears have dried up
just empty words remain
i am alone now
stranded with shaky hands
and too many orange bottles
the words will not come
they, too, have left me
so i sit
and i cry
but nobody hears
nobody cares
my salty tears slip
down my cheeks
and sizzle away
into nothing
how fitting
