I have swallowed myself
drank every last bit of soul
filled my insides with emotion
I have sucked in my tears
to quench my thirsty spirit
I have filled myself so full
sometimes I can't even breathe
I let anger digest the hurt
I consume pieces of happiness
to compress the morsels of sadness
when the insides become too full
I express a few simple thoughts
to make room for the complex ones
I nibble on my fears for a while
to make them easier to swallow
even after consuming all this
I must swallow the bullsh*t of others too.
