my body starts to get heavy
suddenly i’m all blue
let me just lay down for a minute
let me just be quiet for a minute
dinner is ready
i’m not hungry
i’m sleepy
but i can’t sleep
why my chest is hurting like that?
why is so hard to breathe?
it’s kinda nice everything seems to be in slow motion
actually it’s just me
please be patient with me
don’t be bothered by my shaky hands
or my unquiet leg
i’m sweating
why do i feel anger?
i thought i was sad
i’m desperate
i’m terrified
why do i feel like this?
why is so hard to breathe?
breathe in
breathe out
just like they taught you
5 things you can see
4 things you can hear
3 things you can touch
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
i’m sorry
i know i was ok
but now i’m sad
at least i’m breathing
take my hand
be patient with me.
