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.
