Hey there-
try.
Try
to breathe.
Keep your heart
inside your chest,
even when it pounds
like it wants out.
Hold the blood
in your veins-
don’t let it rush
into every open space,
don’t pour yourself out
just to feel seen.
You are not meant
to be spilled
all at once.
Pause-
before you unravel,
before you give away
everything that aches
to be understood.
Stay,
just long enough
to …
