Choking on Words

All these words,

Thoughts,

Memories - 

They're carved

Into my throat

Making me choke.

I'm choking 

On all the things

I cannot say.

I cannot

Explain how I feel

Or what hurts.

I cannot yell anymore

Or laugh

Or cry.

Everything

Is stuck.

I try to swallow it down

All day.

But there's no use.

They push back up

Making my voice

Disappear.

Good read Sav. Nice use of line breaks and subtle repetition. Look to read more of your work
