Chapter 1
December 25, 2023 at 5:16 AM
A biologist in a bank, how ambiguous,
I dissect my consciousness mentally, oblivious.
The coach’s voice, like a scalpel to my heart,
And I’m as helpless as a tadpole, torn apart.
Fear threads through me like meat on a skewer,
But with clenched teeth, I continue this endeavor.
In my lungs, a hurricane violently spins,
My heart hammers against my ribs like a battering ram.
Panic. I can’t do anything about it, it seems.
Horror infiltrates my thoughts, like haunting dreams.
No strength left, I must resign.
Perhaps I should search for another place to find.
