The Heaviness

I begin to sense the heaviness creeping in

/ Hello old friend

/ I’m sorry but you can’t stay

> Don’t let the heaviness in — I shout <

The heaviness beckons me —

~ You know it’s easier for me to just live here

> No — I remind myself — I’ve just emerged <

/ I can’t return

< Don’t let the heaviness in — I mutter >

~ I'm not going away

~If you ignore me, you will pay!

~I’ll derail your life — and hijack your dreams!

~I’m lonely, can’t you see?

………………..Don’t you miss me?

The tiredness hits, and I’m slogging through again

As

I

Begin

To

Sink

Again
