When Tomorrow Comes: Am I an Adult Yet? (Anthology)

Heartburn

And I asked myself, when does this burning pain end?

The one in my chest where my heart resides.

A burning ache in ways I'm unsure can be described.

So raw as it clings in the back of my throat in a lump of uncomfortableness.

So tight I forget how to breathe.

Sometimes it burns so much it agitates the stomach.

And acid bleeds itself against my teeth.

"Must be heartburn."

My friend nonchalantly told me.
