Gravity

Gravity 
I feel you today 
Pulling down on me 
Weighing ever heavily 
Like a smelly, dirty grizzly bear 
With massive claws 
Pressed on my chest 
Pinning me down 
Keeping me grounded 
Struggling 
Stranded 
A steady, strong reminder 
Of who I am 
And where I’m weak 
And what will never be 
In this unyielding universe 
None of us live free
