May As Well Try

I have mentioned this before,
how practiced I am
at calming myself,
my mind,
thoughts,
so easily
put to rest
But today I had 
a full on panic attack 
in my body only
my thoughts serene
and safe
but
my chest
felt too small
to hold the heart 
I’d already put to rest
The disconnect scared me
but my thoughts 
were still
free

I decided
not to crawl 
inside of myself. Instead 
stood in front of everybody
and spoke my mind
until it passed

It worked,
Promise.
