Out of options
Loss of cabin pressure
Strained breathing
Stomach in throat
Heart is non-existent (at best)
Fear of flight (no, fear of falling)
Losing sleep (but not from lack of trying)
Studying maps
Delve into destruction
Appetite lost
Paying the price
Decisions, are a lie
Controls have failed us
This is going down.
Panic!
Fear
Prayers
Please, help
Faith, reclaimed
So easy to believe now
Imminent
More so by the second
Watching
Helpless
Growing larger
Eyes closed
Hands clenched
Waiting
Looking back
In a flash
A fiery crash
(Nothing)

I like the panicked stream of consciousness. Everyone has been in that moment of panic where extra thoughts and extra words are eliminated out of necessity. The second verse (or stanza) accomplishes that well.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the bridge in "The Walk" by Imogen.
