Are you really here? Your mind or just your soul? Every hard time. Every bump in the road hits harder and harder. The thoughts of being alive. Can you feel the pain? Heart racing? The cracks of every burden in life rising above you or just falling below. You’re falling into depression. Mind games playing tricks? The world is oblivious to your inconvenience. Your presence. Emotion on top of emotion. Blinding the truth. Every long stroke. Striving to finish the race before time runs out. Struggling to stay afloat. Time is running out. The weight on my stomach is unbearable.
