Her heart is beating out of her chest.

Shes warm, but cold at the same time.

Her eyes burn from the tears,

What could it be now?

---

Another panic attack.

Unprompted and unprovoked.

Why can’t she function,

Like regular folks.

---

Embarrassed again,

Solitude defaced,

Another pit of personal shame

She gets to face.

---

Breath and try to sleep,

her depression deep.

For nothing but losses,

Have been aimed

directly into her face.

---

Sleep sweet girl.

Let exhaustion take hold.

You’ve fought valiantly enough for one day,

Try and find a small comfort to unfold.

---

A verse for the unforgiven

For their minds do not know

The power it takes

Each time they are forced back into these throws.

---

Gather your fading strength now

For soon it will be time to bow

Returning to battle

When the walls once again begin to rattle.

---

Breath child.

One.

Two.

Three.

Breath sweet child.

Stand up, you’ve still got two feet.
