My heart feels weighted 

Like it's gained a few pounds

From all the foods I’ve been eating

To satiate my lonely soul, 

Replacing human contact 

With carbohydrates.


My heart feels weighted

With all the decisions and 

Expectations of the future.


My heart feels weighted 

And it feels heavier than everyone else’s,

Placing last in the competition of life.


I try to run but 

Tendrils of doubt,

Fear, and loneliness, 

Outrun me,

Grabbing my body,

Pulling it behind. 


Curse my heavy heart

For slowing me down.
