Do you feel that?
Crawling down your throat.
Running up your spine.
It covers your skin.
Do you hear it?
Calling you name.
So loudly in your ears.
It's inside your head.
Do you see it?
Of course you can't.
It's defeat.
It's what's keeping you back.
Keeping you home.
It surrounds you.
And It surrounds us.
