Untitled - For Now

It’s smothering.

That feeling in my chest.

Just beneath my sternum,

Reminding me I’ll never rest.

 

It makes it hard to breathe.

This feeling in my throat.

It lingers there, even once it’s gone

Reminding me it’s never truly done.

 

My hands, they shake.

It makes my body frail,

While my mind it breaks.

 

It doesn’t seem to matter

What I try to do.

This problem in my head,

It won’t let me break through.

 

I think I could have been something great,

Like maybe once I had potential.

But this is a heavy veil,

It keeps out any shine of light.

 

I am destined for this prison.

Can’t you see this lock and chain?

Life here is my sentence.

You can’t understand the pain.

 

 

 

Author's Note

Well I haven't thought up a title, so that might be a good thing to have.

I understand the pain! It seems like a curse to have a mind that never rests - thinking endlessly. But believe me, it's a gift. It allows you to write beautiful and captivating pieces like this one! :)
