The Unsupervised Stop Sign

a gathering of thoughts, parallel runs the chaotic narrative:
  I don't know what's wrong
       why my heart flutters in my chest

affirmations run riot:
     "you have a lot to deal with"
 STOP 

guilt, plagued by guilt
stride forward, deal with it all!
      acknowledge my right to be affected 
  and rest

here I lay, thoughts tangling themselves into poetry
      thud thud thud 
          goes my chest

bpm 105 and rising - running invisible marathons, until the words come into focus
   stop, slow down

let guilt and shame rest
    heartbeat rest
fluttering to the ground
          pieces to be reassembled another day
      the unsupervised stop sign
         chose me
