In Response to a Nervouse Breakdown

Folder: 
Life Lessons

My nerves were stressed and shot.

My muscles and heart tense and hard.

I turned on myself,

on my body.

I thought that this was wrong.

That is was not right.

 

I know that my response was incorrect.

That I took these reactions personally,

And I left presence.

Running away from what I thought was wrong and bad.

 

This is not a message of anger or disgust at my actions.

It is the opposite.

A sense of calm about it has fallen over me.

Yes it's still there.

But I know what to do to live with it.

I will sit with it and hold it with

compassion for as long as needed.
