The monster in my heart

 I know fear. The instant where comfort is lost and replaced with a panic. In my head I can navigate thru all the tunnels of being a woman. I can realize what battles to choose, but in my heart there is a beast growing. A beast I have let out too many times. A demon who can destroy everything in its path one soul at a time. I have subdued this creature one dose at a time. I have channeled my anger into organization or even in the glowing end of a cigarette. Breathe in, Breath out, just breath.
But how do you breathe when you feel claustrophobic, sinking.  You have that pulling from the river coaxing you to begin that decent to the depths.
