Weight

My heart is a weight in my chest
Solid, still, unmoving
I hold my breath
Hoping to feel.


In the ocean of friendships
I sink to the bottom
Bogged down
Stuck to the floor.


My heart is a concrete block
Heavy, hard, unmoving
Locked away from
Myself and you.

Why

Why am I here
Is there a reason
Why can't I do
More for my friends
Why is their pain
So overwhelming
Why will they go
Before I return
Why do they want
To leave me all alone
Don't they see it
My pain surrounds
Why don't they care
That I hurt like they do
Why do I stay
And keep on struggling
Why am I here
Is there a reason?
