Screaming
In pure terror
My fear is piercing.
Mocking my intelligence
Jeering
Until I give in.
Torturing
Undermining my arguments
Laughing in my face.
Biting into flesh
Their rusty needles
Puncture my shield.
I can taste their presence
The bitter, intense flavour
Stinging my tongue.
Anxious
Of the havoc
They can cause.
Petrified
They’ll never let me
Escape.
