Chromatic Musings

Heavy

She's drowning
It's heavy
Weighing her down
Realizing
Long ago
That she can't
Swim
Feeling weightless
But the bad kind
That makes you
Feel like a shadow
Like air
Like something
That isn't
Even there
Biting and pouncing
Sleeping and dreaming
Of somewhere better
That doesn't hurt
But hope fades away
And sadness stays
Your soul turns gray
And it's that
Kind of day
That barely goes up
And seems to stay down
You're just not there
You seem to be missing
And the shell
Is left behind
With a frown
Faceless and soulless
Colorless and more
They were all open
But now they close
The door
You're trapped again
At the next level
Time for the next
Boss
You'll need to defeat
Because you have to
Survive
Don't you
But it sets in
What's the point
Of battling
And striving
To live another day
A day of sting
And burn
And ache
Reasons
Once as bright
As suns
Now shrink
To stars
In the distance
That blink
Out of sight
They're so far
You can't reach
And you start
To ask yourself
In a scream of agony
Or a whisper so
Miserable and tiny
What is the
Entire point
Of me?
