Breathe – just breathe –
The panic will pass
The thoughts will pass
Everything will be okay
If you just take a breath
And think of your happiest memory
Or even a fantasy –
Just breathe –
Move around
Distract yourself
Stay busy
And stop the darkness
From consuming you –
Inhale – exhale –
The darkness never lasts forever
From the poetry collection Cats, Coffee, Catharsis.
