"how are you holding up?"
i'm not.
it's impossible for me to hold up.
to have the strength to be able to do so
is nonexistent.
how do you expect me
to hold the weight of gravity on my back?
to hold up this force
that is trying to drive me into the ground?
that keeps holding me down,
keeping me from reaching the stars.
it's slowly pushing me deeper and deeper
into the earth.
it's slowly dragging me down six feet
into the ground.
all i see are the stars shining at night.
all i wonder is when i can reach them,
when i can reach my full potential.
when does this gravity stop weighing me down
and just let me soar?
my purpose is out there
but i'm stuck here, grounded.
"so how are you holding up?"
not at all.
