It's always in the background
Can you hear it?
"It's part of life"
The heaviness that's always pulling you slowly back
Not allowing your smile to reach your eyes
Making you drift off from time to time
Can you feel it?
Weighing you down?
Letting you sink slowly lower?
Until you reach the bottom
And it all comes out
Full force
Then afterwards you feel lighter
But the smile still doesnt reach your eyes
Because it's still there
In the back of your mind
A never ending cycle
And if it had a color
It would be
vantablack
Seemingly impossible to
Quit
Staring
At
It never leaves
"Its part of life"
Then how do you get rid of it?
You dont
