I lay peacefully in bed, resting my heavy eyes
Eager to meet that long yearned for sweet slumber.
A heavy drop strikes my chest:
"Have I isolated myself all this time?"
It came out of nowhere, so unassuming
I'm certain I will drift off soon, it was nothing.
But then another. Such a sudden piercing discomfort:
"Everything about life is exhausting"
Oh god, here we go again.
The heavens open releasing a downpour of darkness
It crushes my chest with such ferocity
and destroys any hope or will that dared to linger
I try to resist, hoping I will make it through
But who am I kidding, I'm going to drown before I fall asleep
The pressure building is so intense.
My heart is going to explode any second.
I need shelter.
I jump up, get my phone
and sink into the soothing mind-numbing videos of YouTube
My little multicolored umbrella to forget about the rain
Even if only for a few solitary hours.
