Fear knot.
Tangled in emotions
Tripping over my self,
Stumbling. Stopped. Seeing.
This business of being human,
Feeling the feels
Way, too, big.
Trapped, too tight
For breath squeezed dry
Before swallowing.
Connected through disconnecting,
Forced to stop quickly,
Rear ended by reality
Waking up in the wilds.
What do we do
When the tiger’s
This close?
Breathe,
Count to 10,
Turn,
Look him in the eye
And remember
Who you were
Before
The world tamed you.
