The Heaviest Rock

I can feel that Rock inside me in every little speck of me..

Not being able to move.. Not being able to move.. Not being able to flow..

Not being able to be free of this Rock

.. It surrounds me

It engulfs me

It weighs me down

It weighs me down so much that I can't move, I can't turn, I can't sit and I don't want to walk...

How can this Rock become so heavy so suddenly? Or was it sudden? Or it just found a house inside me ages ago and kept growing ,a teenie tiny bit every time I was hit , I was hurt by life and it's glories... It grew , and it grew and finally today I feel like it's plunged me so deep deep deep down... That I'd rather stay down, than come up.. Down seems safer, down seems secure, down seems like my home, my shell, my oyster shell, where I am close to turning into a pearl.... Which feels just like a Rock, till you don't know the hidden secret...
