Follow Your Heart

I'm trying so hard, so incredibly hard to stop my eyes from crying.
From releasing these built-up tears
My mind is thinking
Crying is not the thing
Just keep it all inside, let it build
You'll be alright
Just keep it all out of sight.

My heart is screaming
Don't listen to that ill-logical being!
When you bottle it all inside,
You'll wear down
Break down
Listen to me!
Don't be someone all pretend
For this hellhole you won't be back out again
Just listen to this part
Follow your heart.
