I can feel it

I can feel something sqeezing my feet, pulling me down.
It hurts.
I look over.
Nothing is there.
There is an agressive pressure,
Opressive.
Dangerous.
If it crushed my feet
and turned them into a bloody pulp
I would not be suprised.
I can feel it tracing my soles
As it drags me down
It's hurting my leg.
There is a nerve in my leg
It aches as it is being pulled down.
I moved my feet
And it seems like it never happened.
Anything can happen
When you are listening to music
And sitting on the floor
In a dark classroom.

    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.

    List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
