It grasps on
holds tight
squeezing, choking
you cry out
cower, run away
blindly tripping
struggle to release
clinging claws
tears streaming
hands trembling
surrender
or fight back
internal battlefield
rage against pain
break the grasp
loosen its hold
suppress trembles
wipe away tears
pick up pieces
of broken spirit
move on
past the enemy

Hi! This is nice - fast paced, which really helps with the mood evoked. Great writing.
