Word Vomit

I need to throw up,

I need to get it all out,

The truth is like a poison,

Waiting to spew from my mouth.

The things that I’ve seen,

The secrets I know,

I can’t keep it all inside,

IT’S GONNA BLOW!

Bile and acid,

Bits of food and blood,

Lies, venom, anger,

All come out in the flood.

I’ve kept it all in,

For far too long.

The sepsis is setting in,

Singing through my veins like a song.

It burns and erodes,

Disintegrating my throat,

I try to catch my breath,

Oh God, I’m gonna choke!

They say the truth will set you free,

But what’s left when I let it out?

Will you still be here waiting,

Or will you still hold onto your doubt?
