The walls close in
it's too much
I close my eyes
trying to stop the spinning.
I can't do it
I get so scared.

My stomach lurches again
I gasp for another breath
they tell me to calm down
but they just don't understand
I grip the walls
trying again.

Can't sit still
I try once more
my body trembles
my head is pounding
the warm hands don't help
neither does the cold water.

A never ending tunnel,
where is the end?
I can't get out
I don't have a change
suffocated
and helpless.
