Paralyzing fear
cripples my mind
and I can no longer react....
I lay here lifeless,
just acheing to know...
Thoughts seem a million miles away
and breathing is difficult....
Life could end
outside my door
and I would know nothing of it
because the fear has taken over,
and I no longer exist.

I am not sure that I have ever experienced fear in quit the visceral and paralyzing way as you have written of; however, I felt as if that style of fear would have been able to creep over me just by reading your poetic discription of it. The subject matter of your poetry may be born of fear and pain, but your poetry itself is, inmho, very good due to its ability to bring the reader to the verge of the state you are capturing in your poetry.
