Background

Breathe is a short poem that I wrote after having a very long panic attack by myself. I felt so alone. So terrified to be in this type of situation by myself. It felt as if I had lost control of everything at that moment. Where’s the hope and the relief I was looking for? It turned out that I had what I was searching for. The control I was looking for I had it already. My mind, my brain! After that moment I’ve worked hard everyday to take care of something that has unconditionally taken care of me. I hope everyone finds some hope and inspiration in my writing and my actions as a person. Thank you everyone for your time and please enjoy my poem “Breathe”:

It's almost like a burn. A deep pressure. It's creeping through my veins. These booming vibrations that make me tingle. And as it comes it all soon goes. Thanks to the beautiful machine that everyone holds. It protects and looks for your best interest. The mind speaks in a caring bolt of energy, when you have no courage left. The mind commands for the shaking to go away with just one word spoken, "breath."
