Suddenly surrounded by a gripping fear
Stillness brings not rest but terror
A realization dawning
Vortex is a swarming void
That contains paralyzing scenes
Pain, consequence, rivers grim

In a panic I am thrust
Into a crevice of doubt and mistrust
Generating claustrophobic respiration constriction
Self-control is fading
Violent current tearing me
Forcing applications of dissolving lust

Nothing I've become
In this caustic vertigo

Disbelief, my senses weaken
Drowning in a whirlpool
Preparation disregarded
My consuming presence
Rapid pulse becomes arrhythmic
Fingers letting go

Slipping away

My eyes are sewn shut but I see
Endless atrocities that may soon come to be
I must not capsize, victim of hindsight
A derelict descent to the deep
The dark

Helpless to resist
This caustic vertigo

Fighting, failing breath
Falling, goals unmet
Panic overwhelming
Tremors, cardiac arrest

Generating claustrophobic respiration constriction
Self-control is fading as I plummet towards the edge
Psychotropic dissonance is forcing applications of
My deepest fears
