Release

Relieve yourself of those words while you still can,
For words left unsaid may haunt you.
Regret ferments deeper than guilt ever shall,
Fear not what the spilling of the truth entails.
Relieve yourself of these feelings untold,
For such feelings will consume you when left alone.
Even when pain derived of emotion is greater than bodily destruction,
Fear not what you may do to find relief,
For you can carry on through the release of such thoughts and feelings.
