3 Seconds

The beat pulses
you feel it
throughout your body.
You look up
and glance around
“Am I alone?”
you don’t care.
Your fists clench
back and forth
slowly at first
then gaining speed.
Your face heatens
your body throbs
this feeling overpowers
your physical being.
Your stress decreases
pain, its replacement.
It was astounding
my first time.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a poem I wrote for my first Poetry writing class at VCU. This assignment: Write a poem that describes something that happens over a 3 second span. This was to teach us how to use time and space. This is the result.
