(Poem) regenesis

breathe
in the cold air. feel that minty chill, that
shiver
racing down your spine.

breathe.
don’t let your heart beat. don’t
let it jump or
fall. don’t
let it take over like it always does.

breathe
so that anxiety
doesn’t rest upon your soul, so that it doesn’t
cling
like it always does. don’t find comfort
just because
it holds you so close.

breathe.
let it all out. let the shivers
pass
and the goosebumps
fall. let it all
run its course.

breathe
and let go. feel the breeze
stop.
and once the world calms and the sky clears,
go. flow with the wind
like soft feathers dancing.
