the weights

it gets very hard to breathe

when i share the air with someone else

anyone at all

regardless of love, hate, dependence, despair, or need, maybe even despising them

it feels like weights, millstones over every inch of my body

all i can think about

is a way to blame that someone, that anyone

for the reason why the weights was put there

are you afraid of the dark?

or are you afraid of the light, like me?
