Crush

Crush

Crushing me

This weight I feel inside of me and outside

It is waiting for me on the street corner and when I come home

In the dark corner of my home

Always there

It follows me

I follows me to the ends of the earth

Where I will go to escape

But my sails are torn

Slashed

(There is no wind anyway)

How did I get here

I didn't move or take a step in the wrong direction

Now I can't step in any direction

It is keeping me prisoner

Help

Please

Help I can't escape!

This fate is waiting for me

Baiting me

Silently slaying me

My hopes and dreams

My future

Falsely fostering my fatal fears

I slowly sink soundlessly into submission

I am a victim

There is nothing I can do

Except...

Resurface.

With a mighty splash.

No.

A tidal wave.

Find my silent strength.

Fight this fight.

Fiercly,

Fearsomely,

Fearlessly.
