Just Breathe
My hands begin to shake uncontrollably
My heartrate increases
My thoughts become blurred and I can't breathe properly
Just breathe is what they tell you to do
So i close my eyes
I take a deep breath in
And slowly release it
Repeat
When this doesn't work
No matter how much I breathe
I sit and I think
Why
Why is this happening
What did i do to deserve this
Then I realize
Bad things happen to good people
And the only way to to get past that is to be stronger than the fear
Because fear is a liar
And anxiety is a prison cell
Fear tells you something new and different is bad
And anxiety gets you in trouble
Fear leads to anxiety which leads to trouble
Don't let fear take hold
