Fear

When I'm almost beat

Head pounding
Unknown surroundings
Slam into spiders
Truely dumbfounding

Scramble away
Where silence does play
A soft rustle behind
I race for a hidden place

Can't be discovered
Under the deadening cover
Adrenaline coursing
As I run from my lover

Hear a low grumble
My heart stops as I stumble
Continue going
So I won't crumble

A yell in the trees
Echos carried within the breeze
Have I escaped
With such an ease?

Seeming all done
When I hear the gun
I zig-zag away
In my hardest run

A whizzing past
I'm not as fast
Another shot
I belong in a cast

Fall in pain
Straggle for any gain
As I escape and heal
Fear still consumes my veins
