Holding it,
Keeping it contained,
Carry this weight all alone-
No one else can understand
Or share the oceans of
Your soul's anguish and pain,
Until better times come around
Again, Just keep your thoughts
To yourself and never share
What is truly inside your heart.

Kill yourself
Swallow this whole
From the inside out-
Do not scream or shout for
No one will hear your cry...

That is so far from
What is true-A selfish lie
To keep you miserable where
You are without a single soul
To relate to how you feel-

If for a moment of your time,
May I keep it all real?

There is healing in shedding
Shells containing priceless
Pearls of persistance, pleasure
Plus a deep supply of peace
Measured by Strength, Cleansing
A Heart that needs repair...

So cry, if you need to cry,
Bow your head and hit the floor
Tell Someone Who truly cares
Why you cry so much.
