Stop, sit, calm yourself
Take a breath and ease your mind
Walls closing in and your heart is racing
Losing sight of the future you're chasingWind rushing by in gusts and whooshes
Wanting to hide in the thickets and bushes
Praying to God when everything's spinning
Holding your head when ears are ringingA hand, a sign, a help so divine
An anchor to ground you
A knob to the door
A whisper around youOpen your eyes
You're real, as am I
So take a deep breath
And let it subside
