Crushed

A shiver runs down my spine
I choke
I feel it now
Building slowly
Taunting me
Like an overfilled glass
Just about to spill
I feel it now
The pressure
Walls closing in
In
In
In they close
The air is think
I feel it now
Coursing through my lungs
Pressing
Gripping
Gripping my head
Hard
Hard like heat
Pushing through me like
Like crowds
Waves and waves of crowds
I feel it now
The tide
The tide coming in
Me
Sandcastle
Watching
Knowing
Knowing I can't
I can't do
Anything to stop it
Stop
I wish
I wish a thousand wishes
I wish I could
But I know I can't
I will soon be underwater
Deep down
Down
Down
Down
Where its dark
All dark
There's no light
No one
No life
No air
Just pressure
Pushing
Pushing me further
Further
Further
Deep
Into
Nothing
Nothing
Just dark
I feel it now
Closing in on me
Closing in
My skull
Shrinking
Closing in
My head
I feel it now
Nothing but dark
