It's crippling
The panic I feel
Anxious and fearful
I have no idea why
Even when this happened
I simply freak
My compulsion is to leave
Eyes darting rabidly around
For escape
A clear path
A break in the people
I begin gagging
Ready to purge my soul
Horror sets in
Being totally absorbed
I wish to shrink until I am no more
Even the little things
Phone calls, stores, family
Are triggers
I can? seem to keep from freaking out
All I know is
It ends as suddenly as it began
Leaving me trapped
In this
The cruelest game
Of hide and seek
With my invisible playmate
Fear
