Lump In My Throat

LUMP IN MY THROAT Please take the lump Out of my throat I’m trying so hard Not to give up and choke Panic and stress Worry and grief I’m a wreck and a mess Troubled beyond belief No work or money But bills piled high Isn’t it funny? I break down and cry Every few minutes I fall into pieces Sobbing –no way to win it’s Adding wrinkles and creases To my once youthful face Now drawn down with fret If I escape this place I’ll never forget But, I won’t look back Just straight up ahead Not counting what’s lacked No staying in bed Please take this lump Out of my throat I’m trying so hard Not to give up and choke Written by Leah J Chesser 12/2/2012
