with quick, cautious steps
I walked among the crowd.
with a bated breath
I saw strange , distorted faces
pass by pitilessly.
Lost , confused
on the brink of panic
I moved on even quicker
amidst a disturbing chaos
and a deafening cacophony.
an adrenalin onrush ; a racing heart
a spinning head and droplets of sweat
brought my steps to a halt
dark thoughts swarmed fast
my dazzled eyes shut
silence at last …….
total blackout.
