Mental Claustrophobia

The walls inch ever closer

My shoulders twitch

My temples throb

Fingers itching for a way out

All is helpless panic

I drop to my knees

Drag my hands across the floor

Tears blinding me

Searching for a backdoor I might have missed

I clench my eyes

Tighten my fists

I must break through

Find a new tomorrow

One I can control

I must do this for myself

A disciplined action

To counterbalance

Endless selfish gestures

Step by step

Drag myself through

Little by little

Until the end is in sight

I have just started.
