There is a weight on my chest
--not my shoulders, but my chest.
It presses down
Breaking--
Constricting--
Aching--
I sweat
Put my arms on the load
I sweat
Try to remove it from my form.
I wonder
Why I am the only one who feels like this
I wonder
Why this hurts me more than them.
I struggle
Lifting--
Shoving--
Pushing--
Yet no longer can I try.
I lie there
Crying--
Hurting--
Screaming--
And then I saw it.
His eyes opened
Washed in the glow of bio-luminescence
A face I know not
Eyes of an enigma
The weight is gone
And I can sleep
Ever since the earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan on Friday, March 11th, I had not been able to sleep well. I was constantly plagued by terrible nightmares that made my rest fitful and kept me waking up at all hours of the night.

But last night, I had a "vision" before I fell asleep. Today, as I thought back to what occurred in my mind before I slept, I wrote this poem.

On Tuesday, March 15th, I finally slept well.
