Heavy sky

I wake up tired, though I slept all day

The sun is shining, but it's faded gray

I drag my shadow room to room

Every smile feels like costume

They say, “Just talk,” but words fall thin

Like whispers drowning in the wind

I'm reaching out with hollow hands

To a world that doesn't understand

It’s heavy like the sky before the rain

I’m walking but I’m sinking just the same

No reason, no rhyme, just a cold, silent cry

Living feels like saying goodbye

Clock keeps ticking, but I’m still stuck

In a loop of noise I can’t unplug

The mirror shows a stranger’s face

Tired eyes, a heart out of place

They throw me lifelines made of thread

Tell me it’s just in my head

But this ache's not make-believe

It's the air I breathe, the life I grieve

It’s heavy like the sky before the storm

A constant chill I can't keep warm

No answers, no why, just a dull lullaby

Living feels like saying goodbye

I don’t need to be fixed, just heard

Not every wound heals with a word

But if you see me in the dark

Just sit with me, that’s where healing starts

It’s heavy like the sky, but I’m still here

With broken wings and borrowed fear

Still hoping, still trying, still too numb to cry

But maybe someday, I’ll feel the sky
