the word floods my mouth as a mix of hurt and anger. i try to reverse it, but its too hard to swallow. i stand on my head, hoping that the word might just slip out, but the ones i've reserved for worthier people are starting to shake loose. i eat spoonfuls of kind thoughts, but they get all tied up in knots. ****        y                                         o                                                                                                                                u   i can breathe again.

You.
the word floods my mouth as a mix of hurt and anger. i try to reverse it, but its too hard to swallow. i stand on my head, hoping that the word might just slip out, but the ones i've reserved for worthier people are starting to shake loose. i eat spoonfuls of kind thoughts, but they get all tied up in knots. ****        y                                         o                                                                                                                                u   i can breathe again.
