The sound of the water drops flowing down your skin
I drop down to my knees
Hands over my eyes
Tears blend with the water
Unable to catch my breath
Images of that evening flash in my head
Hearing the sounds of the rain fall
Sounds of the accident
My breathing becomes shallow
Harder to breathe
I stand
Hoping it will make it better
It just makes it worse
Needing to get out
Can’t stand the water hitting my skin
I force myself to turn off the water
As I crawl out of the shower
Still unable to breath
Crawling to the bed
I need to sit
I need to breath
Tears flow more
Not covered by the water
Sounds escape my lips
I try and muffle the tears
The hyperventilation
No one can hear me

I keep telling to myself
Keep counting down
Count the objects I see
My breath beings to slow
The tears slowly stop
I begin to dress
Pretend I’m ok
