PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I cannot move without

the force of you

dragging me downward.



You crush my lungs

so I am not able to breathe;

you shatter my heart

in your palm with ease.



Even when I almost escape you,

you find me and

pull me back under.



You are here with me

even when I cannot feel you-

an ever-present power

always suffocating me.



There is no hope of freedom;

it is in your nature

to weigh me down.



You hold me back

when I try to move forward;

you lock in me here

when I open my heart.



Please set me free.

Get away from me.

Just let me be.
