Bile

by Nobody   Apr 8, 2016


There is a tightening
in my throat
I can feel it rushing up
like bile
wanting to spill out

Screams I want to swallow
keep pushing
through my locked teeth
always wanting
to leak out and be heard

They want to vocalize
these words
that fill so many pages
wishing for
someone to recognize

Its a call for help
from what,
a monster that lurks
deep inside
waiting to be set free

Tears brimming my eyes
but never fall
weakness is not welcomed
one wrong move
and I will crumble and break

Because secrets are tricky things
requiring too much
Attention and coaxing to keep away
from curious ears
for secrets never stay secret for long

    report violation

    This is excellent.

    The title got me intrigued and I was not disappointed, I'm gutted I have used up all my votes. This is unique and flawless again.

    We have all Been there, been told secrets that we can't hold back or told a secret that has been spilled on us no doubt. It is hard to keep them and its very stressful too you portray it well.
