Earthquakes no longer feel foreign to my body

For it is my nature to crumble under the pressure of the world

For me to destroy myself

And the things that I’ve built

When the weight of the world seems far too much

I go through the day with the tremble in my bones

And the unevenness of my uncertainty swirling in my thoughts

Through and through

The waves of the emotions crashing into me

Making me

Fall

Fall

Fall

I now know the feeling that you get in your stomach when you fall into the depths of fear

I can’t help but think

Oh what a wonderful feeling it is

Fear

Constantly wondering if this is the day it will overtake me

I’ve also gotten used to the distant pound of my heart in the tunnels of my ears

Along with the never ending alarm that is forever screaming in my head

Every time the earthquake comes back to me

I’m not so afraid of it

It is no longer unknown to me

For it is the companion to my thoughts

A lifelong friend

That has never left my side
