Frozen Fear

To stand still amongst a moving crowd

yet suffer terror from all around

as many conversations pass by

only a pulsing heart makes a sound

fear is a cruel emotion to feel

it encircles and slowly squeezes

the beating life that`s struggling

as cold sets in and then freezes

though the sun light is brightly felt

darkness engulfs such a weak spirit

as doubt and uncertainty sets in

 the mind plays games that spiral it

isolation from that comfort zone

tips you over the edge of sanity

to be locked in this state of sheer fear

grows strong, becoming reality
