My hands begin to shake uncontrollably

My heartrate increases

My thoughts become blurred and I can't breathe properly

Just breathe is what they tell you to do

So i close my eyes

I take a deep breath in

And slowly release it

Repeat

When this doesn't work

No matter how much I breathe

I sit and I think

Why

Why is this happening

What did i do to deserve this

Then I realize

Bad things happen to good people 

And the only way to to get past that is to be stronger than the fear

Because fear is a liar

And anxiety is a prison cell

Fear tells you something new and different is bad

And anxiety gets you in trouble

Fear leads to anxiety which leads to trouble

Don't let fear take hold
