the shaking circles

I've been pacing back and forth. Trying to control my breathing. Like something's clutching my chest,  cracking me from the inside out.

That's exactly how it feels.

These thoughts I assumed I had conquered long ago, somehow resurrected to taunt me, shaking me in circles searching surfaces, eyes darting, and I can not find what medicine will cure me.

Fuck, even just a band-aid would help.

It's only been a week and here I am, walking on that thin ledge, emotional winds gusting around my ankles. Threatening to take me down if I don't let them into my lungs, permeate my blood, cells and soul.

It's a dead scream, the way that wind howls.

I want to go home before I tear myself to pieces.

Holding my breath, gnawing my bones.

Just let me be alone.
