Baby Steps

I am terrified

A wave of fear washes over me

It consumes me  

It suffocates me

I cannot move

I square myself

I plant my feet on the ground

I feel the earth pulsate through me

It connects with me

But I all can do is stand there

Just stand there

Shaking

My vision tunnels in

I try to focus on my goal

Try

I can only try

I take a breathe

I take a step forward

I stumble

I fall

But I move forward

Baby steps

I am terrified

A wave of fear washes over me

It consumes me  

It suffocates me

I cannot move

I square myself

I plant my feet on the ground

I feel the earth pulsate through me

It connects with me

But I all can do is stand there

Just stand there

Shaking

My vision tunnels in

I try to focus on my goal

Try

I can only try

I take a breathe
