Invisibility
my voice is stuttering
in my throat
and i want to
force
it out
but i
can’t
and all i do
is sit and
say nothing
and i hate that
my heart bangs
uncontrollably
against my ribcage
and my lungs
strain and strain
for more
oxygen
whenever i try to
talk
so i sit
silently
and if i sit
really still
and really quiet
not even my friends
notice me
in my throat
and i want to
force
it out
but i
can’t
and all i do
is sit and
say nothing
and i hate that
my heart bangs
uncontrollably
against my ribcage
and my lungs
strain and strain
for more
oxygen
whenever i try to
talk
so i sit
silently
and if i sit
really still
and really quiet
not even my friends
notice me
