Tension within my chest like wearing a too-tight t-shirt as my heart fights to escape
My body yearns to run like a startled hare to fly like a hummingbird to fight like a hyena to do anything to relax
My worries fly in my head like hornets aiming for my weakness and my insecurities
Breathing tightens my chest more trapping me in ****** quicksand
Journaling makes me more aware of my heartbeat thumping like a Shakespearean actor spouting iambic pentameter in my core
I know all of this will fade like the end of a scene in a play but I can hardly wait, tears standing at the ledge of my eyes waiting to jump off the cliff
