Ebb and Flow

A quiet room
Darkened shades
My own cocoon
The chatter fades

The questions cease
The guilt subsides
The need to please
And pacify

The ebb and flow
Are in my court
Too soon, they’ll go
It’s just a sport

I’ll find myself 
Back in bright lights
In poorer health
Fight or flight

Though short and sweet
This is my time
To regain strength
I’ll be just fine
