Controlling Emotion
I feel my palms dripping of sweat
As they shake involuntarily
I feel my heart playing it's drum set
I hear the beat echoing off my chest
I strain to take in oxygen
Nostrils get wider, lungs become tighter
Muscles become stiff and sore
My body refuses to calm down
Further more, in the middle of everything
I pray "Lord please take this suffering"
And I who have already used much energy
Falls peacefully asleep
I write my feelings
Before my emotions build up
I write to prevent my panic attacks
Where I then become uncontrollable
It is a way to express myself
Without judgment or awkward stares
It is my therapy
And it is my passion
