steady, ready, breathe

quiet
brain
source
of eternal
thumping
conundrum
craziness
insecurity

stop

steady
ready
breathe

prepare
sometimes for the worst
but mostly for the best

(it's always been the worst
that happens
or maybe
that's just the way it feels...)

heart races
breathing fast
fever inducing
sweating lasts -

oh to be bothered
by the bother
of bothering myself
over the bothers
that plague
my brother

pause

steady

ready

breathe
