Pins and needles dance across the space
finding deep inside where the worry lays
Fingers scratch and tap
the feeling spreads
Something is not quite right
Breathe in
Breathe out
_____________
Counting the five steps
Listing, speaking
Breathe in
Breathe out
_____________
Heavy breaths rattle inside her chest
trapped by an unknown weight
a voice echoes inside her head
a montage of horrors
memories
her memories
they trickle down slow like a calm rain
she is nowhere near calm
Breathe in
Breathe out
they flow in like a storm at sea
clashing into each other
drowning the other out
drowning her
Breathe...
her chest shakes
her lungs don't work
they've forgotten how to
She's forgotten how to

Hello! My pen-name for this is Roxy Wolf. Not using my real name due to personal reasons. One day that may change. This is part of my journey to healing & learning to use my voice. I hope this helps others know they're not alone.
