Back to the ground. 

Rich soil surrounding feet.

Head buried in reality.

A weight suffocating.


A chest caving in

as the earth pulls down lower

sinking into soft dirt

the soil clouds over.


Just a small pocket of replenished air

left for you to survive.

But the crushing feeling

just won't subside. 


You can barely breathe 

as the thoughts come rushing in.

Everything that ever happened in your life

you start second guessing. 


The insults come back.

All the countless bad things you think

about yourself, 

only makes you sink

further. 


It whirls and it spins, the air and and your emotions

and the oxygen is just too thick to breathe. 


But you're stuck, 

in this soft bed under earth

for hours, days, weeks,

years.


And all you can do is try your best to not pass out.
