There’s a heaviness in my chest

that suffocates each gasp of contentment.

It weighs down my soul

and drowns my reality into darkness.

It is only for a sliver of infinity,

but the emptiness engulfs a lifetime.

Open your heart and feel my vulnerable state.

Do you see my self-doubt, fear and inadequacy?

Once you were a ray of happiness

that radiated into my dungeon of despair.

Where are you?

Where are we?

Sadly, I’m not a warrior every second of this eternity.

There are fragments of exposed vulnerability.
