I went to the doctor…

okay, heart, why do you feel so heavy today?

when I woke up this morning
my heart felt like it was
a 16-pound bowling ball

I was top-heavy with
a cumbersome despair 

I couldn't walk anywhere 
without feeling like
I was about to tip over

I stumbled to my doctor's office
   who told me that the weight
I was carrying around inside of myself was simply a physical symptom of how terribly I was treat…
