Vertigo #1
Vertigo #1
I find myself gasping for breathe
dizzy and pushing at nothing
as hard as I can
Each day
I am breathing deeply
anxiety attack
after anxiety attack
I have let you take over my days and nights for far too long
My past has once again backed me into a corner
I'm pacing back and forth
spanning the range from panic to isolation
fight to flight
Trying to gather myself
like bits of tattered cloth
ready to cover these oozing wounds
You sit fat
monstrously feasting on my psyche,
my heart races
once again with fear
a fear so deep
that I never forget for one second
that you may still be roaming these open streets
hidden in the shadows?
sitting on the subway?
living in the apartment next to me?
Who knows how many things you’ve broken in the last 14 years?
People you’ve killed without notice?
Free to appear when ever I let down my guard
Even now, I am still fighting you,
after all these years
I still where a knife in my boot
just in case
you turn that corner.

sorry to freak you out, just playing a found word game and this is where it went. Beware the psychic vampire!
