Sideline

I'm here

Standing on the sidelines

Watching it go from

Sunset

To dark

My chest is aching

With a pain

I haven't felt

In a while

I want to move

But my chest is heavy

I want to cry

My eyes are too dry

I take a breath in

It felt so hard

My fingers are weak

I can't feel them

When I ball my hands

Into fists

Nail protruding

Into my skin

But I am so numb

I can't explain

I want to scream

I want to break things

But I am stuck

In this seat
Silently

I am tense

But my body is weightless

Yet heavy

So I cannot move

What can I do?

To not be standing here

Waiting

Craving

Driving myself

Insane

I just want to be fine

I want to be like you

No caring

Knowing that I'll be there

While you care for everyone else

I guess I will be

On the sidelines
