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.
