The space around me

Becomes heavy

There is a weight settling,

In my chest, heat
---

The silence is killing me

But I can't speak

The ground is shifting,

Beneath my feet
---

The thump of my heart

Bubbles with anxiety

But if I fight hard enough

They'll accept defeat
---

The unease dissipating

With hands flat and still,

No longer hysterical

They will retreat
