The Agony Within

There’s a feeling lying deep inside like a twisted tight hard knot no finger or sharp pin can unlock it it’s there a release can’t be bought Oh now it’s become quite sore real painful thoughts in the mind one is gripped so full of fear if cut open what would you find But must keep it in to myself don’t let anyone see what I feel my pride is locked securely safe so hold on not to let anyone steal In all of this real awful sore pain thoughts choke me within and without nothing to be done in my own self it’s come to this there is no doubt My destruction becomes ever near but better this than so to tell I just don’t want to speak again no matter what just my soul to sell!
