The Eternal Hand

I feel the eternal hand of loneliness descend upon me, pressing me down, I 
must get out lest I drown, the fear grips my throat tight, my reason is gone, where 
is my insight? My vision has gone, must get it back... Desperately I run, trying to 
escape the night yet dreading the morning light. I stop and look around, my 
senses reel for the lack of sound...My breath coming out in gasps, I am akin to an 
animal trapped. My eyes close and I feel the warmth of the blood rush through 
me and now I know....I'm alive and I’ll make it... just wait and see...
