Bottled Up

All this anger but it doesn't show
I bottle it up so they'll never know

They'll never know how I feel inside
From my feelings I even hide

I hide from the anger and the hate
But maybe one day it will become too great

So you don't get hurt I keep it within
To release it would be a sin

What good will it do to show how I feel
If I do that my fate I would seal

I bottle it up so that you will not see
What dwells beneath, the true me
