not for long

And out of nowhere I am terrified.

I feel waves of terror wash over me.

I become paralyzed with fear.

Out of nowhere, without season.

I suddenly can not speak anymore.

As my heart races with panic,

My mind goes blank.

I can no longer think, only feel.

My hands tremble and my knees become weak.

My head starts to spin.

And then it's gone, just as quickly as it came.

The fear is gone,

but sadly I know not for long.
