My Anxiety
Heart pounding –
Too loud, too fast.
Breathe.
It will pass.
I know.
I know –
It hurts.
It feels like it won’t end.
Breathe.
It’s just temporary.
Hold me tight.
Hold me close.
I’ve got you.
Keep breathing –
Slow, deep breaths.
Let the air in.
Let it out.
Focus on this moment –
Just this breath.
I know it’s overwhelming,
But it will pass.
Before you know it,
It has passed.
