Anxiety

Numbness overpowers me
Eclipsing my emotions. 
A tsunami like shadow
Scales the mountainside. 
Blurring my perception
Of any hidden danger.

In vain I try to escape
While stocially my brain
Issues the decree to halt.
The accelerated shadow
Has already transcended
Further then my field of vision.

I stand paralyzed
My senses engulfed in darkness.
Apathy takes its rightful place
Front row and centre.

The desire to feel
Cascades my thoughts.
While, impenetrable
I await the sensation
Of the pin's prick.
