Guilt

Blood drips passed by chapped lips as I cough up the lies that I have told, my chest tightening each time another one slips Lies that I must now hold. Air barely fills my lungs as I remain deceitful. My mind wraps around my neck, choking me into realizing my guilt. I am a prisoner to my thoughts. Tied down by the fears and caged in by my consciousness. I must keep it all inside. Within my cage lies great evil. Haunting my memories, with terrifying delusions of greater darkness.
