Anxious in the Dark

I'm afraid of the dark The cold blackness Restrains me in it's grip As shadows play with my mind. I can't breathe But it's my breathing That breaks the silence Echoing in my ears. I can't move Fear has me frozen My legs shaking My heart pounding. I'm sweating It drips down my back My eyes searching Straining to see. I'm all alone I can't run I can't scream I can't cry. My throat is so dry I can't swallow The air is thick Like a dense fog. I see a bright light So I run to it But it's only my window Shinning with the morning sun.
