Creaking treeswhisper in the wind.Is it my name their calling?No, it's just me,I'm sure-it's just me.My breathing feelsheavy, and forced.Why is my heart pounding?Dizzy, dizzy.Frantically, fanatically rearranging my hat,Get my attentionoff myself.Check my pulse, out of control,Getting worse, breathing faster,Cold sweat, deep b...
