stuck

I feel stuck,

like I'm trying to claw my way out of quicksand as it swallows me whole.

No matter how much I try to fight it,

it just sucks me in deeper and deeper.

I then begin to feel a shortness of breath,

as if someone's repeatedly jumping up and down on my chest.

It brings out a feeling of weakness,

as if I want to scream, cry and throw up all at once.

It's a feeling I can't ignore,

nor escape.

As much I try to push through it,

it's still there in the back of my brain.

But it's all an illusion,

as if my mind's playing games.
