Gag reflex

Inside my skin, there is acid. Burning , to escape The cauldron bubbles brimming, scalding Madness Spills over I cave in. Let it bleed The thick black bubble bursts. Its release leaves The open wound to fester My heart pumps poison, It catches in my throat. I scream and curse And gasp for breath. Let the bile boil. Hate burns the brew It simmers in the chest It may be gone for a spell But pots are made to boil Boil over
