Based on the following prompt: Prompt #26
NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 26
What’s the worst part of this for you?
The way the edges of your body
Wave uncertainly and lose their shape?
The hot glowing red knot in your stomach?
The images flashing boldly behind your eyelids,
Taking you back to the moment they happened,
Making you feel the burning on your skin?
Take a deep breath and follow that.
Follow that
Follow that to automatic muscle movements
Taking care of the things you couldn’t do before
Follow that to the tightness in your chest
Watch it as if from a train, follow that
Scenery but not too closely, follow it as far as you need-
And then let it go. It’s followed you long enough.
