Your nerves fire with a sharp hock

Your chest tightens without a sign

Your thoughts race in quick bursts

You try to catch one clear line

You feel heat rise in seconds

You hear your breath shift fast

You fight to keep your voice steady

You ground yourself with one firm step

You track what sets you off

You hold calm moments when they come

You build small habits that keep you level

You remind yourself you can stay in control
