...Breathe...

My heart is beating fast...
...things seem out of control...
...there are too many people around...
...my hands are sweating...
...my bubble seems too small...
...I can't catch my breath...
What do I do...

...Just Breathe...
...they said...
What the fuck...
...does that mean...
...I either breathe...
...or I die...
Not like that...
...Don't take breaths...

...BREATHE...

Life sometimes feels like...
...an obstacle course...
...a constant battle...
...an endless race...
But I am always...
...an inhale...
...and exhale away...
...from a calmer place...
Each time I breathe...
...I connect myself...
...to the universe...
...I quiet my mind...
...open my body...
...create an inner calm...

Breathe in...
Breathe out...
...BREATHE...

Breathe...

...His Body Heat...

...My head is...
...on his chest...
...I hear it...
...faster...
...louder...
...harder...
...it's a heartbeat...
...but it's not his...
...the heartbeat...
...is mine.
...Is it from...
...the excitement....
...of his body being...
...perfect...
...and decorated...
...and beautiful.
...It is from...
...fear...
...fear of enjoying this moment...
...fear of the safety I feel in his arms...
...fear of feeling cold without his body heat...
...fear of the reality...
...that our connection is so perfect...
...and I'm perfect - at one thing...
...fucking shit up.

Breathe...
