Better Left Unsaid

Look at me Mother
Tell me what you see
Am I just another
Of denial's casualties

This pain I feel
Comes from somewhere deep
It's source is still concealed
A secret that I keep

Though I ache to let it out
Let the bitter tasting words spill from my mouth
I always succumb to my self-doubt
And manage to choke the words back down

I guess I'm just not ready yet
So you can go on assuming
That my state of emotional unrest
Is what I most enjoy pursuing
And for the time being
That really is all that I am doing
