Secret

I once ate a secret, secret inside That fester'd and sank deep into my core Blackened and rotted, my gut it fried Prodding my conscience, I just can’t ignore Suddenly I am the worst of sinners A secret! A secret! Inwards it screams Burbles and boils and scalds my innards A secret! A secret! From shame it streams- The pressure doubled, despite my pleas My flesh bloated with effort but alas! Against my will, it retch’d upwards seize! Burst forth from my lips, escaped en masse Empty I feel, stain’d still and tainted Mouth sick; regret bleeds dry; then- I fainted.
