Rock in my chest

 I wake up again with a frog in my throat 

Shortness of breath 

And a rock in my chest  


Hoping that I will stay afloat 

This will not be my death 

There’s no time to rest 


For I can feel it weight pulling me down  

Struggling to stay

Striving for the sun  


A light smile turned to a heavy frown.

Yet another day 

Exhausted from this run.


Life has not been easy that is for sure

Striving forever ahead 

Trying my best 


It can be difficult to be secure 

Hanging by a thread 

With this rock in my chest.
