The Door to the Open Ocean

1…2…3 in…out…in…out

Stay in this moment.

Right here.

Just breathe.

1…2…3 in…out…in…out

Focus here.

This is what matters.

This is where you must live.

In…out…in…out 1…2…3

Don’t think…about what you’ve shoved in the closet.

Don’t think…about the whir of thoughts inside your head

Don’t think…about the house you have to go back to

Just breathe

1. 2.

Come on

In out

Just breathe

Justbreathe

1 2

Inout

Please breathe

Inout

Don’t falter

Push the darkness back

Don’t let it overtake you

You have to climb out

Reach out in the dark

Reach for my hand and this pain won’t overwhelm you

I’ll hold onto hope

Just hold onto me

I will take the sweeping current

Just hold onto me

I will hold you close

Just hold onto me

I’ve got you

You’re safe

Just breathe

In…out…in…out 1…2…3

There is always something mesmerizing about the use of repetition in poems. I think this post perfect shows how much imapct repetition can have in calming the senses. Absolutely well done :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thank you so much! I often struggle with panic attacks and some of the most helpful things someone has told me was to repeat something out loud and create a touch point with each of those so that it connects the mind and body again.
