It beginns
Hands are starting to shake
palms are sweaty
shivering, freezing, sweating
It´s cold, then hot

Focus on your breath
in and out
in and out

don´t move
don´t scream
don´t ask for help
don´t call your mother, or sister
don´t call anybody
just sit
quiet

panic
illusional fear
mortal agony

cry
continue

stand up
grab the razor blades
breathe
in and out
in and out

focus
don´t call for help
they wouldn´t understand
You are the only one who can help yourself

breathe
in and out
IN AND OUT
faster
panic
panic
panic

cry
cry
survive

You survived

end.
