Have you ever felt that

If you hold it in one more hour

Minute or

Second

It will explode

And your insides will stop absorbing

All

While your body will simply

Reject

And release?

Have you ever felt that

If you don’t find someone to

Listen or

Care

It will dribble

And spew out your mouth

Urgently

While your friends will simply

Watch

And weep?

Have you ever felt that

If you say it out loud

Honestly and

Deeply

It will change

And you will gather yourself up

Gracefully

While your soul will simply

Endure

And persist?

Have you?
