My breathing increases, each breath like a burden...My hearts beating faster than a professional runner.
I start to tremble.
Every part of me shaking.
As my palms begin to get sweaty.
My mind is racing like it knows where it's going. AND I know exactly where it's going.

My first play.

As tears stain my face, I see messages from worried friends telling me to keep going.
I see messages of mine where I was consoling a friend who was dealing with the same thing that has my heart gunning.
I'm reminded why I've chosen to do what I plan on doing...
Deep breathes start coming
My mind slows from its continuous running to a brisk walk at slowest - in turn silencing my hands violent quaking.
As I raise my head, I open my eyes, placing a hand on my shoulder knowing....
