Her thoughts are swirling, Her mind is racing, Anxiety is setting in. She has felt this before, This uneasy feeling, as her body tightens, her breathing increases, and her hands become clammy.

She is trying new things, She is taking risks, She is filling her time with things that give her joy.

She sits. She stares out the window, wondering how time has passed by so quickly. She can’t get that time back and she can’t change what happened. Oh, how she wish she could. She releases control.
