Weight

A weight lay upon her chest. Filled with all the things wished for Formulated from all the things hoped for Crushing through her ribs  Seeking to penetrate her soul.

Eyes stuck on a world that’s not yours Wondering where in your life you went wrong. Did you not study hard enough? Work hard enough?
