Lies.

Heart pounds,

With heavy breaths.  

Significant sounds.

It’s the hidden test

I grasp for your knowledge,

Take everything that you’re given.

 Watching as your nerves take control.

Notice as you wipe at your sweated brow,

Nails dig into your unsuspecting flesh,

Lips are bitten by your very own incisor.

Tell me, what you’re thinking,

Tell me your pack of lies.

"Heart pounds,

I like that part in the beginning as well as the last two lines.

Actions speak louder than words, and body language is perhaps the most truthful form of communication we have. Not as appreciated when it betrays you like such. A compelling write. Thank you.

Body language does say a lot, doesn't it?? Good imagery.

Dear...I can praise you till I am breathless about how awesome this poem is. It has impact that truly hits home. I mean the words you use are ones I could have screamed. You did such a lovely job.

It sounds like it is coming from someone who is very distrustful. But it is well written.

Realy good. It really sows emotion

You have gained valuable experience in reading body language enough to know when an untruth is being told. I wish I was more suspecting when I was younger.
Great write.
