bee swarm

Like a bee swarm in my chest
I knew I had to say it 
But still was scared 
But still was scared to…

I know the moment will come though
Because I’m too sick of getting stung
My lungs swelling up like yellow balloons
Could burst inside
Could burst inside

I focus in and find the courage
And say thank you to these bee stings
For reminding me to exhale
So I too can release them 
To go build honey hives
