You were always there
And I was so comfortable at first
Until we started to rug each other wrong
And I needed to move on
Have you ever sat down, exhausted?
Anything can be comfortable at first
Until you’ve rested, and you feel better
And you can’t stand
The position you were in
For one more second
You just want
Out.
Do you know the feeling?
The longer you stay there
The more it hurts
Your body bent
In unfamiliar ways
The pain is unbearable
And you wish that you didn’t have to get up
And move around
Or change positions
If only you could stay,
Maybe you would eventually
Learn to feel comfortable again?
But not soon enough
You stand up
Take back what’s yours
The experience
It’s terrifying
A free fall
Through the night
Destination: unknown
You look back
And know
That despite the cold pain
The emptiness
There’s no safe way
You could ever go back
To the way it was before
Without giving up
Every ounce of yourself
That you have left
Submission Name: Uncomfortable
