She's shaking.
Unstable.
For the taking.
Swallowed in fog.
Connection is lost.
She's cut off
From herself.
She's cut off.
Can't get out.
There is no where but here.
"Disappear. Disappear."
She whispers.
"I am here. I am here."
She answers.
"Tell me." He says,
"Tell me all that you dread."
And her fears spoke louder
Than anything ever said.
Unstable.
For the taking.
Swallowed in fog.
Connection is lost.
She's cut off
From herself.
She's cut off.
Can't get out.
There is no where but here.
"Disappear. Disappear."
She whispers.
"I am here. I am here."
She answers.
"Tell me." He says,
"Tell me all that you dread."
And her fears spoke louder
Than anything ever said.
Inspired from learning about polyvagal theory and the feeling of being "stuck" in the sympathetic state (fight/flight/freeze) or dorsal (collapse). Speaking about where youre at can help you bring back ventral state to the foreground, the beneficial state, the ability to have connectedness at ease.
