There are moments when time seems to stop ...
Or drag ...or click click click in my brain ...
And my mind feels like it's pulling stretching
In multiple directions...
It's not a good feeling.
There's a disconnect of sorts,
something disengaged, torn even,
and I feel numb in my brain,
like a brain death is coming on ...
It's not a good feeling.
Some people refer to it as anxiety--
Others say it's a depression of sorts ...
But this coming on comes on a lot lately--
There's been no time to heal.
It's not a good feeling.
This abysmal moment, like those before it,
Slender time fingers wrapped around my neck,
Feels like it will last a lifetime
(Though I know the second hand hasn't slowed a bit).
It's not a good feeling.
But I know that if I count my breaths
(one--breathe, two--breathe, three--breathe)
I can make it. I can make it.
And the dark cloud will finally lift.
