Trepidation

claustrophobia

c l a u s t r o p h o b i a(n)- fear of confined spaces

i felt my knees give up

the air around

constricted

the light at the end

diminished

i held  the hand of a messiah

to escape  from the walls of wisdom

i pulled from above

i pulled from beneath

the air no longer a problem

i looked up to thank the lord

only to meet myself above.
