Daily trauma

Im walking along this pavement, My heartbeat stops for a moment, My brain is caught in a paralytic state, My heart suddenly starts to accelerate. Im still walking at the same pace, But Ive lost all sense of time and place, My breathing is erratic and heavy, My composure is lost and am nervy. My vision becomes hazy and blurry, Im confused and cant think clearly, Im still moving up the route, Despite my brains short circuit. The present moment seems surreal, As if everything is at a standstill, Am still walking up against my will, Unprepared for the ensuing ordeal, Inevitably our eyes come to meet, My heart beats so loud I can hear it, Im unable to form even a simple sentence, My body stiffens and my muscles tense. She looks at me and says hi, Somehow I mutter an incoherent reply, Then as I walk by, I take a huge sigh.

I wipe off my perspiration, My body resumes normal respiration, I curse the complexities of nature, For my hearts unrelenting torture.
