A series of simple musings (6)

Sometimes,

It feels like the walls are closing in on me,

Like I can’t breathe no matter how hard I try.

My heart still continues to beat, but with a faster rhythm,

And that’s all I can sense, that’s all I can hear.

My head pounds with immense pressure

The solemn despair and affliction when

Everything around me seems as though,

It was shattered into a million pieces.

It would take ages to amass them all,

And more to put them back together.

The hollowness in my stomach,

And the pain in my heart,

Makes it feel inconceivable to be able to get back up again.

Deep breaths, once, twice,

It doesn’t do much but it helps reach equilibrium,

For a minute and then two.

Deep breaths, once, twice,

The agony remains but is temporarily wavered.

My mind is aroused yet at rest.

Deep breaths, once, twice,

For a second or even two,

Is all it takes

Deep breaths, once, twice…
