Breath catch.
Heart skip.
Air snatch.
Stomach flip.
And your heart will pound.
Frozen in place.
Blacking out.
Petrified face.
Curdled shout.
If you make any sound.
The phobia creeps in.
Stabbing you in the back.
A punishment for sin?
Or for that which you lack?
The phobia attacks your mind
Squeezing life from you.
Why not respond in kind,
And scare the phobia too?
