The phobia
Went to the Carnival in Loule I`m sure it was nice
I felt like the branch of a tree hurtling down a river
Of humanity a maelstrom, a headless monster and
I was filled with panic; a scream was working its way
Up my throat, I found a breathing space by a doorway
As the float with lightly dress girls came there was
A surge towards the edge of the pavement a vacuum
I was able to run and found a dark side- road where
masked people with evil masks played with fire.
I found my way to a normal street I knew in a café had
A sandwich and drink water, I`m in a dry cycle seeing my
Doctor at the end of the month and if she asks If I drink,
I can honestly answer no.
This fear of throngs of people should not be taken lightly
But I was able to flee but also take a picture of the girls

This is seriously humorous, Oskar. I feel you're a bit empathic (if not much) and large crowds are overwhelming. They drain energy, which causes confusion, and even physical symptoms can manifest.
Those final two lines were a contrast of the serious yet humorous nature of this write.
