Invisible walls,
Unseen chains.
You push and pull,
But it’s all in vain.
_____________________
Frustration builds,
It starts to choke.
The future you planned,
Now seems like a hoax.
_____________________
You try to run,
But there’s lead in your feet.
Your lungs deflate,
You want to retreat.
_____________________
You clench your fists,
And spit out curses.
Your head starts to pound,
Like galloping horses.
_____________________
They say it’s for a while,
Things will get better someday,
But at this very moment,
It doesn’t feel that way.
