Days like this
Are days when it hurts just to *******
breathe.
Count to ten.  You can do this.
One, two, three, four
I can't breathe I can't breathe
I can't breathe.

My chest is drowning
Why is my chest drowning?
Shhh, it's okay. Try again.
Ten deep breaths.

My mind is drowning
I'm clinging to the shore line,
Trying to stay afloat
I can't do this anymore.
Days like this
Are days when it hurts just to *******
speak.
"How are you doing today?"
Come on, you've got this.
Just answer the stupid question.
Shaky breaths.
"I'm- your voice is trembling-okay."
you're not okay
