Everyone around you appears to be going on about their day happily. While inside, your heart is burning and there is a knot in your stomach. Hold still they tell you. No one can see you quake. Inside it is bottling up and the urge to just throw it all out to release yourself from all this pain. All this grief. All this uncontrollable energy. And it is not even good energy. This energy is full of so much worry. So so much pain. You do not wish this on anyone. You just wish it would end. Why me? You ask yourself this every single time. Tears begin to stream down your face. Hoping someone will come and hold you. Because you are beginning to shake from the heart out to each bone. Now it is noticeable. But no one is looking. No one appears to care. The truth is they could be going through the same exact pain you are. Maybe not the same day as you, maybe not the same week. But someone, somewhere, is having the same feeling as you are. Take your deep breaths. Ground yourself. What causes more anxiety is expecting someone else to save you. This is your body. Hold onto it.
