So very heavy What feeling is this to be so weighty? What song is this to be whispered against the wind? Why does the weight feel so intense and bear down on thy soul? Bitten like the whiskers of a pinned predator Downed like a fleeing victim who fears the inevitable Such was a single moment of belief When to think ill of oneself is the horrible thing to do Grasping at straws, trying to breathe, wanting to sleep But allowing none of these is the outcome lost Burrowing in soil and finding comfort where the darkness lay This was a hope that was meant to be clear Yet now the weight presses in, a vacuum holding one still Every grain of space that had been loose, captured and held still The waning feelings have lost their own speed and wiggles become futile A struggle against the inevitable is the thing that now stands Bear this in mind, the strife of a single focus can bring Remember a feeling of the trap that holds one still and struggle, for it all feel so very heavy.
