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.
