A Lame Attempt at Poetry

Inhale, exhale
Count to ten
Walk myself through these steps again.
In through the mouth
Out through the nose
Nothing beats memories like those.
They tell you to breathe
But they dont understand
It's not something you can fix
By holding my hand.
Just stay and confront
Thats how it should be done
But when they turn their backs
I turn to run.
Step by step my heart beats faster
My knees get weak
As my mind gets captured
I've been told that you can't rewind time
So why do I keep reliving the past in my mind?
It seems though no matter what I do
This solid steel web pulls me back
And suffocates me with yet another panic attack.
So once again
Inhale, exhale
Count to ten
Don't forget to breathe again.
