Underwater

Sometimes,
I feel like I've been submerged
Like my head is being compressed
With all the decisions I have to make
And things want to create.

Sometimes,
I feel like no matter how hard I try
I can't achieve anything
Like everything is unattainable
And failure is inescapable.

And Sometimes,
I feel like my head is going to burst,
With the pressure of retaining everything,
I want to scream.
I'm splitting at the seams.

Sometimes though,
I find a small grain of certainty,
Possibility,
Optimism?
And I feel like I can do anything,
Everything?

Sometimes,
I feel like I've been propelled out of the water,
Like something out of Harry Potter,
And I can finally breathe again,
And my mind isn't in pain.
