Analysis of Weightlessness Emotion
I’m getting high today because I can’t handle the pressure,
Too much stress couldn’t compare to any horrible weather,
Situation is tough when you’re lonely on a tether,
Got a piece of my heart stuck on a feather.
I soar to skies unknown,
High above the tumult, where burdens are overthrown.
Pressure mounts like thunder, relentless in its force,
Yet I seek God in the clouds, a wild, untamed course.
Loneliness grips tight, a tether unseen,
As I drift in the breeze, a heart caught in between.
In this depth, complexity isn't what you seek,
Life feels cheap, courage wanes, the light seems bleak,
In shadows, I stumble, chasing sighs, tears streak,
Through tear-stung eyes, courage's strength is weak.
I’m fighting this weightlessness emotion,
In the echo of silence, I wonder, where do I belong?
A soul in search of refuge, in a world that feels so wrong.
Give me more than this life that I’m supposed to belong.
