there are those days
where this heavy feeling
weighs on
your chest, arms, legs

you are suffocating.
you are going to choke
and run out of air.
you are going to
cry.
but if someone saw you,
they would only see
one person lying on the floor,
broken-hearted
and

disappointed.

frustrated.
ashamed.

this shouldn't be happening.

the news on my screen tells me.
we are not any better.
we have not learned from our past yet.
and until we do,
the past will continue to weigh on you,
and will continue
to suffocate
you.
