Fear
Fear surrounds me like a forest fire
Consuming all my thoughts
I freeze, no path looks safe to follow
All logic has left my mind
Everything once peaceful and beautiful
Is now life threatening
What has changed so quickly
Everything was fine a minute earlier
I try to calculate how long before I suffocate
I cant find my breath
I cant feel my heart
The world is spinning out of control
The desire to protect my heart
Calls once again
But it comes at an enormous expense
I have fallen in love
I look around for something familiar
To bring me back to safety
I see a cloud and it reminds me that all things are passing
Just wait, just breathe, just be
