Breathe

Anxiety. Unrest.

Heart beating too loud.

What am I anxious about?

... I can't remember. Can't calm it.

How can I make it go away?

Oh, yes. I do that thing.

You know that thing. 

It's different for everyone, of course, but we all do that thing.

I shower. I run. I listen to calming music. 

I breathe. In. Out.

I soothe it. It slowly goes away...

Or at least, the intensity goes away.

I'm calmer now. I can breathe.
