“Constriction”

Isabella Santoro

Anchor Staff Writer

Remember when you laughed at me that day?

     For clawing at my throat, my breath uneven

Clawing at my throat, my breath uneven

      I pleaded with you to help me out 

Come on, please, help me out here, won’t you?

        My eyes full of unshed tears, no words released

My eyes full of unshed tears, words I can’t release

        I watch as you sigh, mad I ask for help

You are mad that I ask for any help

      When I am not the type to beg and plead

But I silently stand here, I beg and plead

       And there you stand, your eyes full of frustration

 I wonder why you are full of frustration

      When I remember you laughed at me that day
