Dancing With Description- Contest
Alarm as mind is hurled in icy cage
deaf to what between them nurses said,
orchestra of terror took the stage
and heartbeat had took refuge in my head
'Just keep you're breathing steady, won't be long,
you're doing well', consultant's last remark,
metallic taste was forming on my tongue,
a whistling in my ears heralded dark.
wide eyed, frozen, hands on rails tightly cling
helpless, supine, outside my comfort zone,
nerves tighter than overtuned guitar strings,
surrounded, yet never felt so alone.
It still walks with me now, I shan't forget
The day that fear and I finally met.
