An Ode to Heavy Hearts and Soft Mornings
My chest is heavy, The anxiety settling in like an anchor Weighing me down. I can’t breathe easy, Every inhale fighting against me Every exhale feels so hard. How do I go on, how do I continue? Life stops for no one, And I can’t give up right now. Duties, responsibilities, needing my presence everyday, I have to fake it till I make it, I tell myself I can. Even though my chest feels so tight, And my smiles don’t bring out my light, I know that one day I might Be free of this tiring circle I ride. The hope keeps me going, Hopes for a soft life one day, When the only thing that’s worrying Is if I should head to the beach today.
