Pressure

Location

I wake up, my heart beating in my head

This thing, its so heavy, its weight pushing down on me

It won’t budge, I’m suffocating, I cant breath

It’s keeping me locked in my bed

 

Is it this thing on me?

Or is it just me?

Is it that I can’t move?

Or that I’m not trying to?

Am I accepting it?

Should I stay under it?

 

Maybe I should rise above it?

Maybe I need to force this heartbeat out of my head

I take command, and I get out of bed.
