Pressure!

like an ant beneath the sole
I feel it
crushing, suffocating
engulfing my entire being
Thinking how to escape 
exits that lead to a maze
quickly they become hands
pulling you
taking you lower in the abyss
feeling lifeless
looking for comfort in this hell
knowing that only one Person
transporting me through this
into my soft clouds!
