in the end, it carries on. I discard backing down from my options. fear is a difficult thing to shrug off: anxiety keeps it heavy and panic makes it stick to my shoulders. nevertheless: I discard giving up as a worthy solution. if my fingers still shake, it’s only the cold. if my heart still pounds too loud, no one has to know. and if I am still afraid—give me just a moment. it is out of my control. nevertheless, count on this: I will pick myself back up again.

i run the race on trembling legs
in the end, it carries on. I discard backing down from my options. fear is a difficult thing to shrug off: anxiety keeps it heavy and panic makes it stick to my shoulders. nevertheless: I discard giving up as a worthy solution. if my fingers still shake, it’s only the cold. if my heart still pounds too loud, no one has to know. and if I am still afraid—give me just a moment. it is out of my control. nevertheless, count on this: I will pick myself back up again.
