The Walls

Uneasy i sat, longing for the watch to tick faster
Nothing seemed usual, everything out of place and then
It all starting moving, my head spinning madly
My world grew smaller and i more breathless
Sweat smeared my lungs and clothes stuck as with glue
Hands trembled and colours faded,all light seemed soaked


Claustrophobic i am,and horrible it feels, relentless and unforgiving
All senses leave hope ,non functioning they grope
As if a wait started for the tunnel to end but it seemed so long
The mind got to the verge where pain had no meaning
It was about to burst and burst it would,
Prayed it may happen soon, for may not I fall into a black abyss


I breathed,breathed heavily with each harder to take
Forced down as more air was inhaled
The cornea dilated and in snow i stood
It was white all over,so white i just could not look
With indistinguishable whites and no scent 
Nothing i could touch and all dry it tastes


Help me out!!! Help! Help! Help!                            (voice growing louder)
I cried out for long but only echoes came back
Then the walls grew smaller again,tight, tighter
So tight i could not breathe, Help! Help! Help!         (voice going distant)


Are you okay,son, mom sat caressing my forehead
A kiss and some water relaxed the pounding heart
Awake i sat,eyes wide open,looked at the walls 
All in place they seemed, my parents picture hung smiling down at me
I looked up at her, smiled with relief and went back to sleep....
