Heavy

It’s been hard to sleep.

It’s been so hard to sleep.

I’m blessed to have a bed to lay my head but I keep tossing the blankets aside, they feel so heavy on top of me.

Heavy.

~~Heavy~~ heavy is the perfect word to describe this feeling.

heavy

Heavy like rainclouds resting just above your head.

Heavy like inescapable darkness.

Heavy like sickness.

Heavy like that cough you can’t get out of your chest.

Heavy like carrying bricks

like carrying lies

like carrying lives

like carrying deaths.

It just feels heavy

Heavy.

I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love. View all posts by brianasymone
