an unfamiliar warmth flows through my veins a smile adorns my face, something unfamiliar and a shape I thought my muscles has long forgotten how to make a sudden ease overcomes my hands stop clenching into fists i stop shaking, no longer freezing from a blistering cold my teeth stop rattling and knees stop knocking together, no more anxiety induced shaking these feelings are in fact petrifying, i cannot lie i am absolutely terrified but the sun feels so golden on my skin and the long days don't feel so dreadful anymore we'll see what this brings, but i think i may have found someone who makes my heart beat with an elevated rate of pure elatedness and not an elevated petrification
