Anxiety.

I lied and said I was busy. Or maybe I said I don’t feel well. I don’t remember now actually.

I did lie, but not because I wanted to. I really was busy.

I was busy slowing down my breathing.

I was busy getting those racing thoughts out of my head.

I was busy trying to just get through the moment.

I really didn’t feel well.

My heart was racing.

I was sweating.

my trembling knees made me shake.

Forgetting to take a breath because I was too busy figuring out what was happening.

So I really was busy and I will not apologize.
