take a moment
block everything out
now focus on
your deep breaths
and beating heart
tell me,
is your heart hammering?
desperately beating against
your chest?
Or is it
more calm?
relaxed?
as if it's
taking a break
what about your breaths?
are they pitched?
quivering?
as if someone just
backed you up against
A wall?
Or is it more slow
And steady?
Now forget what I just asked
And focus on the fact
that you're still breathing
and that your heart is beating
no matter
how fast
or slow
it may be
the only thing that matters
is that
you're still here.
