Please.
Please don't...
Just talk to me.

Okay?

I know, I know.
I can see.
You're not sure where to start.
All of those thoughts.
Running, racing through your head.
All at once.

Breathe.

I can see you reliving every moment
Every second
Every scenario that led you

Here.

Just focus on here.
Focus on me.
No, don't look away.
Eyes on me.

Breathe.

I know sometimes it seems
Like the world is caving in
Crushing you under its weight.
You carry it.
You've made it look easy.
Until now.

Let me carry it for a while.
Let me help you carry it
At least.
You still don't know where to start.
Those thoughts of yours
Still racing, flying, tangled
Crashing into each other.

Fighting.

Listen for a second.
Don't try and sort them
In order of importance.
It doesn't work like that.
Start with...

Which thought is loudest?
Based on true events.
