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!
