Shame
Shame
Total breakdown.
Teary eyes staring but not seeing.
Not a word spoken, nor a sound uttered.
A timeless silence.
A body so overwhelmed yet so still,
panic streaking like wildfire.
Paralysed beyond belief,
utterly frozen to the core.
A question half heard
numbly answered
with only a mutter.
Will it never end?
