I'm a handful

I'm a handful

A Poem by bboooyd

A hodgepodge of thoughts, ideas, and time, whip across my minds eye. An imagined eyelid moves to block the blow, to stanch the swell of this chaos. 


My heart spooks into a frenzied beat and causes panic to thump in my ears. A buzz clings at my every inch numbing movement, taking control of my senses.


It’s this commotion that incites a full breath from my body. My lungs attempt to breathe a clear, steady mind; inhale all confusion until only a solitary solution survives. 


One blink. One involuntary gasp at air. And recognition enters the fray, anchored and solid against the whirlwind. Instinct lead by example and I turned to follow…


With deep breaths.


Oxygen began to gather in slow rhythm at breath’s hand and let calm sway through my veins slowly rocking my heart to sleep.
