Struggle On

I can feel you in my chest
Building, rising above my breast
You're always here, you always come
Bringing me down, your work is done

Deep inside, you fill my eyes
Saltiness breaches, I start to cry
Struggling, fighting, just to stay alive
Thoughts of the past, restless brain gives no respite

No one is coming
Such a presence leaves me so cold
No one is coming to the rescue
Such distance to cover to mend these holes
