Breathe
This irrational Nervousness On the border Of outright panic, Trembling limbs And shallow breath And racing mind, Every grim idea A potential reality, Every move delayed In fear of fault Or failure, Shyly shrinking back, A quiet coward, Imagining the worst Instead of asking Simple questions, This irrational Nervousness Comes and goes, Returns and Fretfully flows As I forget to breathe, As I try to find the words To ask such Simple questions Instead of dreaming Awful answers.
