A Days Break—extended

Anxiety attacks have become the martyr of my story

stabbing away at my sanity

clinging to my skeletons

ripping up my clarity.

But I am trying

trying to train my own hands

not to shake

but to be brave and clench the desire that lingers in my heart and

hums throughout my soul.

I am trying

to face the pain that demands my attention

as it taunts my life

with every waking moment.

I am trying...

to let go,

to breath,

to control the uncontrollable by seizing its control over me.
