COUGH

COUGH

I am coughing up all the blood
All the anger and all the pain 
With each heave of the breath 
I am exhaling all the guilt, 
All the rage and the bitterness, 
These lungs hold a story
The story of a thousand breaths
Every step, every second, 
Each and every moment
From birth to death
This cough is bringing up
The agony of life
