Just Breath

Most of the time I let things get to me.
I am weak. Though I might not show it.
I'm sure most of you know it.
A simple outburst of word vomit,
Can just make my skin crawl,
Hair on my body raises to attention.
Ma'am yes ma'am.
My shell looks brave,
feels ashamed.
Teeth, white,
Though they hide my sorrow.
My jokes stink up the room,
As though they just got gassed.
Hand workin all day,
And all night.
Mind turning quickly to dust,
I know that I must,
Take it in,
Slow down.
Just
Breath.
In.
and,
Out.
In,
and slowly
Out.
Just breath.
Take a deep breath.
