Keeps Pounding Against Walls
I feel this pain in my chest
so I try to rationalize it away:
this isn't heartburn,
my arm's not tingling,
it's not a heart attack
but I think I know
that my heart's been pounding
because my heart's been trapped
it's been trapped
& I don't know if it's trapped by my ribcage
I don't know if it's trapped by your male oppression
I don't know if it's trapped by my cowardice
or my fear
or by--
I don't know what trapped my heart
but it's been pounding so hard
so hard that it's slamming on those walls
those god-damned walls that I can't even see
god, I don't even know about the walls
but my heart keeps pounding against them
I don't know about the walls
but my heart's still pounding
