As I watch my classmates present well before me
I hear the teacher speak YOUR UP!
All pain only just starts
As I get get up there
All I can see is my classmates staring straight at me
Thousands of eyes stare as they shoot fireballs directly at my body
As I get further and further into my presentation I hear whispers from my peers
me expecting the worst I panic and start to sweat
this panic attack is like a poison in my mouth killing me
putting me in a void
A void of fear with no courage in site
as I go further and further into this void I start to smell smoke
It was smoke coming from my heart from the burning pain in my chest
further and further I go now I’m sweating so much its weight is pulling me down
I burn and burn until it’s over
by that point the fire fighters are pulling me from this void and putting out this fire
after I cool down I wake up as if nothing had happened but still
Still I feel that I have been traumatized
it doesn’t change that I’m just preparing for another attack
When all I’m thinking about is the end
But then I begin to think is there really an end to this
as I run it through my head I thought
