Fear

Heart pumping, nerves jumping
Brain racing, feet are pacing
Hands shaking, insides quaking
White knuckled, knees buckled
Eyes darting, lips parting
Nail biting, stomach tightening
Ears listening, sweat glistening
Throat closing, no sense dozing
Body shivers, spine quivers
Teeth chatter, lose your bladder
Muscles tense, so much suspense
Sitting, staring, noises blaring
Walking, running, stumbling, falling
Hearing, listening, speaking, screaming
                  Stop...
            Fear is here!
