bile rises up my throat
words never spoken float up
and beg to explode
from me

my pharynx burns with fear
over things I cannot control
and end up ruling my life
but I try to swallow it down

my jaw cracks
my teeth decay
and fall out
bloody yellow lumps

I should stay quiet
it'll be easier that way
letting my thoughts
upset my stomach
