Garbage Disposal

I think I’m going to throw up.

I feel it in my chest,

I feel it in my throat.

Like its rising, rushing,

on the tip of my tongue,

I’m going to throw up!

I force all that’s in me to swallow it down,

I can’t do this right now.

I can’t do this now.

I bite my tongue shut,

but it burns in my throat.

You force me to swallow it down,

because I must be overreacting.

But burns in my throat-but I must be overreacting,

so I shut the fuck up and

I swallow it down.

I’ll swallow it down.

I’ll swallow it down.
