A Poem

I think it’s a small ball that’s been stuck in my throat for all these years as I’ve tried to cough it out and release the tension but was unsuccessful because there are things that are stuck for a reason

Maybe it’s superfluous emotions stuck in my throat, like dry food on a warm day with no drink and a cough doesn’t do the trick even when I try really hard it only makes things worse

Maybe it’s the death I’ve seen that decided to lodge itself within my throat to stay, like an unwanted houseguest who always asks for just another day and then I’ll go and this mass feels like a lot but when I shine a light down my throat, I see nothing There is no clog, no ball, no blockage, no wall and then I wonder if everything in my life is just some type of psychosomatic disorder trying to send me a message that I am too oblivious to receive with an open mind

Maybe it’s life, the one I live, that’s stuck in my throat like a lozenge for a cough I no longer have and didn’t want and the remnants feel like they are scratching me when I know they are gone

Maybe it’s my ego, the id, that’s stuck in my throat as I choke deeply on myself and never notice the pain because I am too busy swallowing vaseline so I can breathe again
