Bottled Up

Let it all out Don't be afraid to scream or shout Don't keep it all in It's a battle you'll never win With an urge to protect and safeguard yourself you can build your walls up high That guard will drop, walls will crumble and you'll ask yourself, why? You can fight back those tears but, eventually they'll still come We aren't meant to be emotionless robots roaming around cold and numb Weather we like it or not we are human and sooner or later a breaking point we all reach Crashing over you like a tidal wave hitting you all at once while you try to stand grounded on your perfect beach Before you know it, it's disturbing your sleep Overwhelming are these deep dark secrets that you keep Stalking and taking over your every thought Creeping in haunting and flooding your mind with what you'd hoped by now you'd forgot Keeping busy with other distractions catches up in time Playing games pretending everything is fine, to yourself is a true crime Perhaps write down all your struggles,find a different outlet even if it's confiding in a stranger with a listening ear Don't stay chained in your own shackles and stop living alone consumed by your own fear Stop parading a mask to keep out the demons you try to hide Open up your heart and mind don't keep it all buried, bottled up inside
