wild rabbit

how i feel often.....

My heart is pounding in my chest.
I can’t move.
Someone has caught me in a death grip.
Squeezing.
I’m breathing so fast,
That I can’t breathe at all, choking.

My eyes are darting quickly,
Looking for an escape….
There are none.

This is it….
I’ve taken a vow,
Relax, let him love you.
No, no, no….
I must get free.
Let me go….
Stop holding me, stop petting me.
I’m a wild rabbit; there is no rest for me.
