Like Jumping Into a Swimming Pool

I asked and I received,
he didn't wait too long
to show himself, I guess.
I can't seem to shake this
dread
but even worse, I feel
trapped
inside a chasm where
everybody's faces are different,
a place where words
unravel
and tongues lose their utility.
Someone please help me,
I don't know what to do
with myself... I can't purge
this feeling,
this scared little boy,
please.
