Descending Hallway of Fears

By stuart_pid

Descending Hallway of Fears

Apprehensive steps descend the corridor of fear.
The walls become alive with breath.
Imaginary terrors
inexplicably scream out to my subconscious.
Wrenching my soul.
Begging me to flee.

Pressing ahead against all better judgement,
I throw open the golden door
and step forward,
entering through,
into
enlightenment.

    this is so damn confronting... the artwork in itself suffocates me, but the poetry - it perfectly evokes feelings of constriction, suffocation and panic.... awesome piece. Thank you.
