Let It Out
By Devon Riggan


Nerves making my skin tingle
But strictly in a boiling fashion
Blood coursing through my veins
What really made this happen?

Shaking, shivering
Body unaware of how to react
Fist and teeth clenched, eyes narrowed
Trying to keep myself intact

If my eyes could turn things to stone,
If my mouth could fuel flames of fire
Then you'd better pray to your God
That you're really not a liar

Lay it all out – come clean now
There's no use in holding it in
Let's finish this, no holds barred,
Unleash everything that's held within

Did you or did you not?
I can hold my own,
Don't worry about sugarcoating it
Unless you want to become unknown

Please let this just be a nightmare
I can't deal with this right now
Body drained, emotion gone
Just... tell me you didn't break your vow
