Restroom Recoveries

She's starting to mumble
which means she's in trouble,
for she overthinks too often.

Her tongue is crystal glass
as she replays the past,
she needs to be helped.

Catching up to her are white lies,
painful memories of previous demise,
for she cannot stop the cycle.

Her teeth begin to clatter
as her mental state she gathers,
her body is malfunctioning.

Poisonous thoughts of gruesome fights
and nightmares of emotional heights
grab her by the throat.

She ceases to mumble
for her senses are crumbled,
she's not in control anymore.

In the midst of her dangerous state
she realized it wasn't too late
to breathe deeply.

When her lungs were filled to the max
her body began to relax,
her foggy eyes now clear.

She proceeded out of the bathroom
and the meeting was resumed,
for no one would want to hire a panic disorder.
