Swallow the lump
stuck in my throat,
another bump
along the road.
Hold back the tears
behind my eyes,
ignore the fears
hidden inside.
Blink thoughts away
exhale a sigh,
feelings display,
silently cry.
Let it all out
with a loud scream,
my sad heart shouts,
“Control this dream.”
An instant peace
makes me feel calm,
flow with the breeze,
sway like a palm.
Wishes today
form tomorrow,
so joys can stay
and clear sorrows.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
