Step into me. Step into my mind, my heart, my head, my body. Breath; Slowly in and out.

Feel my emotions. Ponder my thoughts. Understand the wants of my heart. Breath; Slowly in and out.

Step out. Step back into yourself. Breath; Slowly in and out.

What do you feel? Relief.

My mind is scary. My emotions are wild. My emotions tell me all i want is hope. My mind tells me there is no hope, it is not real. My heart is telling me to hold on. What do I do? Breath; Slowly in and out.

What do you know about me, from stepping into me? I am nervous, I am ugly, I am not what you expect. I have panic attacks.

Now what do you do? Do not feel sorry, do not feel sorrow for me. I deserve this.

I am nothing.

I was in a creative mood today. I just want people who read my literature often to get a better understanding of me I guess. This was just out of creativity.

I like the part when it says 'My mind is scary. My emotions are wild.' I know how that feels.
