When panic arrives, narrow the room to breathe
When panic arrives, narrow the room to breathe
Place feet on floor, name what stays
Place feet on floor, name what stays
When panic arrives, place feet on floor
Name what stays, narrow the room to breathe.
Slow the body, count the seconds
Slow the body, count the seconds
Touch the chair, feel its weight
Touch the chair, feel its weight
Slow the body, touch the chair
Count the seconds, feel its weight.
This too will pass, it'll be okay
This too will pass, it'll be okay
Take a breath, practice this
Take a breath, practice this
Practice this: this too will pass
It'll be okay, take a breath.
Practice this, when panic arrives
Take a breath, narrow the room to breathe
Place feet on floor, touch the chair
Feel its weight, name what stays
It'll be okay, slow the body
Count the seconds, this too will pass

The Grace of Reciprocity
The only unspoken understanding now is this: if you ignore me, I absolutely won't bother you. This isn't about being competitive or indifferent; it's about acknowledging the most basic truth of adulthood: relationships must be mutual, not sustained by stubbornness.
