Heavy Silence

Imagine waking up numb,

Your arms heavy and weak,

Your eyes sealed shut.

The sun beaming through your window,

Piercing through your eyes—

But still… numb.

Your body lies,

Sinking through the mattress.

Feeling every ounce of spirit, leaving you,

Every ounce of anything disappearing

There is nothing you are remembering

The appeal you once saw—gone

The stress levels once felt—gone

The anxiety once felt—gone

There is no name for the feeling that remains

But I like to call it

Heavy Silence
