sometimes the pain
just comes and goes
randomly, out of the blue
and all of a sudden,
your heart is gripped
from a fist that is so
so much bigger than your own
and no matter how hard
you struggle to get out,
you just can't.
the pain from the grip
begins to flood to your head
and nothing will release you
from the pressure and the hurt
you have going through your head.
and you don't seem to
understand where
the fist comes from.
it surprises you
in your happiest of moments,
in the middle of deep slumber.
it comes out of nowhere
to surprise you.
and there's no escape
from the white knuckles
that death grip the entirety
of you.
the grip will release
on its own
and it'll come back
to haunt you
as soon as it wants.
