Breathe
Close your eyes,
Count to ten.
One deep breath
After the next.
Feel your chest
Open again.
The panic starts
And you close
Your eyes.
Count from ten
Back to one.
Slow and steady
To distract your mind.
Hope the tears
Don't crack
The surface.
Breathe...
... breathe
Just.

Until it feels
Okay again.
