Dichotomy - a poem

As I walk outside in the dark of a lone night

A chill creeps up on me, envelops me tightly

My heart starts to freeze and evaporates all light

My chest tightens but I forget to breathe deeply

At the same moment, I feel my stomach sinking

Deeper and deeper, creating my well-known void

This time everything freezes even my thinking

I feel like my body and soul have been destroyed

Then a wave of hot air suddenly takes me in

Everything unfreezes, gets faster by each step

My train of thought speeds up, it won’t let me in

I gasp for air, I can’t even scream out for help

I feel stuck in motion, struck by anxiety

In the deepness of my void, the dichotomy
