Trigger warning: this piece discusses themes of panic attacks.
There she goes again
She’s back there
Back lying on the floor
Eyes dry from crying
Chest heavy from the weight of it all
Weight of the world so heavy on her shoulders
Is this going to happen again?
The room is different
Feeling the same
The road keeps going
She could follow it till it ends
They’re waiting for her though
Here’s the bend
What way does she go?
This is not the same
That was there
This is here
She’s not on the floor
She stood up
They were there
Hands outstretched
Come Back
Look up
Breathe in
Breathe Out
Chest is light
She’s back
