Claustophobia

Gasping for air as though there weren't any
The tube around my body funneling to nothing
Hot and dry surrounds my head
Thoughts faster, stronger, vivid in my mind

My eyes swirl throughout my skull
Trying to find a stable place to rest
A pounding in my ears consume me
Thoughts faster, stronger, vivid in my mind

A drop finding a place on my arm
The color unknown to my eyes
It draws down to the hand succumbing to gravity
The rain comes down

Slower, blurred and sleep
