Flame

Out to battle the flame
That is driving me insane
In the brain, I was always smart
But in my heart
I easily get torn apart

I get attached to easy
And I don't know what to do
I easily fell for you to

How do I stop?
All this emotion is going to pop
How do you mask what you feel?
All of this is so unreal

In one week you were already all I could see
And you said you felt the same with me

But it was all fake to you
And this exact problem is nothing new
I don't know what I can do

So I have a question for everyone
How do I close or mask emotion?
I can not do it on my own
And lately everything I feel has just grown

Don't mask it. You already are letting it out through your poetry [which is DEFINATELY NOT a bad thing].
