I let myself breathe a little.

The breath that I've been holding in for so long, I let it out.

My heart still beats fast but it's not racing today.

It's calm, it has survived and it tells me,

You're going to be okay.

Let it go, you're free...

My hands still shake a little but the anxiety in me is finally leaving.

I clench my fist and then unclench them,

And I realise that I'm not afraid anymore.

What was I afraid of in the first place?

I don't remember.

But I know that I won't be afraid anymore.

If I fall I will get up and I will keep moving on.
