scared
Show me what it is to be scared.
tell me what it's like to be filled with fear.
I've seen it portrayed a million times,
but scarcely ever have I felt it.
let me experience terror
for the first time in a long time.
I want my heartrate to rise,
my bones to chill,
my head to spin,
my thoughts to plummet down.
let me be hopeless.
let me be the victim.
let me feel the focus,
the speed,
the exhileration
of running for my life.
For once...
let me scream and mean it.
