Pressure

Lost in my mind,

Struggling to find the words to describe how I feel,

The weight of my world crushes my chest,

Making it harder and harder to breathe each time,

Realities misgivings intensify,

I wonder when this will stop, will I make it through?

As the days, weeks, months go by,

Hopelessness becomes all too familiar,

I wonder why life brought me here,

Struggling to hold on, I remain hanging,

By a thread that should of snapped long ago,

I am thankful for the support, however small,

It keeps me from crashing to the ground.

I pause for a long moment and reflect,

Taking in the stillness around me,

I realize the commotion is within,

Focusing on what is around me,

Calmness starts to creep about,

I embrace the calm and exhale a deep breath,

Expelling all that was causing chaos within.
