weight
what do you do with a heavy heart?
what do you do when your chest feels like it's been constricted so tightly it might snap at any moment?
it's that sinking feeling in your stomach when you're suspended mid-air, flying free like the birds just for a moment, before plummeting back down to Earth.
or like violent waves, with fury coursing through their veins, beating relentlessly against the rocks on the coastline.
just an hollowness that pulls on my heart and weighs it down heavy enough that I have to sit up with effort. a weight I don't realize I'm used to until someone comes to break the bindings and chains off of me. then suddenly, it feels like I can breathe.
