Im sorry, but I cant, Im busy.

Im busy trying to catch my breath.
Breathe in, breathe out.
But I havent mastered it yet.

When my heart is thundering out of my chest, it feels nearly impossible to catch my breath.
Im busy trying to get out of bed.
I counted all of the things I wish I had said.
I counted every last thought in my head.
I thought about everything I still need to do.
I thought about you.
There is always you.
Sometimes it takes a lot of strength to get out of bed.
Im busy trying to silence irrational fears.
What if I fall?
What if I fail?
What if they leave?
What if everything Ive worked so hard for is taken away from me?
Something will go right, but then it will go wrong.
Sometimes fear sticks around for far too long.
Im busy trying to recharge.
Sometimes Im overwhelmed chasing after what feels like dreams that are too large.
Fit 25 hours into just one day.
Get it done before its too late.
Squeeze in more friend time, and one more date.
Call mom back by 8.
And sometimes Im drained by things so small.
It could be anything at all.
Im busy trying to tell myself Im doing just fine.
That everything in life happens in its own time.
That things unfold as they should, and all of these unknowns will work out for my greater good.
I know I said I was too busy to see you the other day.
kindly understand that sometimes, our ideas of busy might mean different things.
