Quicksand

There is something sitting on my chest

you cannot see it, but it is there

 

the tightness in my lungs will surely stop my breathing

the pressure crashing down will surely be my end

and my ever shaking hands will surely give me away

 

No one look

stomach hold your fire, forehead hold your sweat

find the door. where’s the door? there is no door!

Sinking
