I feel sadness rise up into my throat,
Nestling itself between my vocal cords
Causing them to stick together,
So it's impossible for my vocal cords to open up
And allow me to breathe.
The same suffocating feeling rises behind my eyes
Pressing on the back of them
With the weight of every emotion that I've ever felt,
But no amount of pressure
Will ever let the emotions escape my body.
Instead, I'm forced to let the emotions stay inside
And weigh me down from within.
My body never allows me
To allow the emotions to escape my body
Through the form of cathartic tears.
Maybe I deserve to feel the pain of every decision
And every emotion that comes with it
Because why does someone like me
Deserve to feel anything other than pain
For the rest of my fucking life.
