When I Think of It

I hate that I only
think to share what’s on my mind
when it’s down, far down.

My head weighs heavy
on my shoulders like the crown
of a displaced king,

so I think of how
I could write it down, get it
out before it grows

into a deep pit
of steady quicksand, slowly
overwhelming me

until I can’t breathe.
I hate how I don’t think to 
share the good things more.
