Stop!
What's this wrenching pain that's piercing through me
It's like it has no end and is going in circles around and around
Hoping over again that the pain will go away
But it seems so impossible
You think if you forget about the problems it'll just disappear
Wrong!
The more you try to run away the faster it will hit you
The quicker you run the more the pain gets to you
Your mind 
Your heart 
Your soul
You finally feel it
It's got you and you can't move
You try to scream but you can't move
You can't help but cry
You try to scream but you can't make a sound
This pain
It's got you 
And now there's no escape.

What a horrifying feeling. Hope it's not real
