And Repeat
June 9, 2016
Sweating, shaking, startled by fear
It truly felt like I was dying.
Like someone was holding me underwater
Or as if someone was standing on my chest
And repeat.
“Stop being overly dramatic”
“We all have problems”
“Grow up”
And repeat.
Deep breathes
Smell the roses,
Blow out the candles.
Feeling better?
And repeat.
