Hidden Emotions
We keep things hidden inside that we are too afraid to show. When we have
nowhere to turn, we push our feelings down and try to pretend that they don't
exist. We cover ourselves with a mask as though, with that mask, we are freed of
our emotions. If we are lucky enough, our trick will work for a while until the
inevitable happens and our hidden thoughts burst up and overwhelm us. They
feed on us until we break down and face them. Tears help to wash away the
feeling of helplessness and lonliness that can break us if we allow such to
happen. We can never rid ourselves of these, but we can try to take control of
them so they don't hurt as much.
