There's a bitterness swelling up inside me
Waiting to spill out as tears
Angry tears
Longing tears
Yearning for romanticized happiness
In a childhood home
Long since left
My chest is tight with anxiety
Sticking in my lungs like sap
Shoulders sore and throat strained
Heaving with each breath
Waiting for relief
Never reached
By a diaphragm weak against thick air
