Cheerio

A poem by Catherine
@catherineaeppel

---

Heart racing, mind spinning, heart breaking.
Chest constricted, stomach pitted, breath short.

The fear of pain,
The pain of fear.

All too real.

Breaking me open –
Raw, tender, exposed.

Nowhere to hide,
Nowhere to go.

Face those fears,
my dear friend,
And say hello.
