Time Up

At every turn I take
At every corner of the street
I see my actions take a dig at me
I try to run but my legs are weak

The walls are painted with blood
The ground is trembling beneath my feet
The air around is so thin for me
Now I try to open my mouth to aid my breathing

I feel choked up
I think it's time to seek sanctuary 
But how do I come about it? 
Where do I go to from here?
