Aura of Despair

The silence grows oppressive

Shadows flit in your mind

As darkness falls

Your blood pounds in your ears

A relentless drum

Pray to the heavens

None will hear your cry

You are alone

Talons of ice gripping your heart

Every ragged beat

Pumps more dread through your veins

Cower as the fear takes over your

Mind and every thought

This is only the beginning of your

Journey into despair

In a moment the world has changed

You realize you are but prey

Every instinct tells you to flee

Things aren't what they appear to be

Panic

Everything is upside down

Panic

How did this come to be

Head spinning in a whirlwind of too much

Information for a feeble mortal mind

Can't parse reality from horrific fantasy

The paranoia grows

As clarity fades

Sink beneath a tide of

Mounting confusion

Oh

It's too much to comprehend

Even further the mind descends

Who is speaking, what is this

What's that screaming, who am I

Who can stop this

Insanity

Instant death

Silence returns
