These red eyes enclose me.
Screaming
Bursting through
My brain.
Attacks
From all sides--
Numb.
I feel
None of it.
It was there
One second
Now gone
In a split second.
Now
I have this fear
I'm being watched.
Hyenas with daggers.
I'm in danger
Not allowed
To move.
I'd turn the lights out
But I feel it's
One step closer
To my lights being
Put out.
Swap
I'm on a hill,
Hyenas below,
Now I'm the one
Grinning.
Fly
As more predators
Come close,
I lose
Their grip,
Spread my wings,
Flying high above,
Soaring,
Circling my new prey.
