Hidden Inside

I kept it hidden - I kept it inside I didn’t want to worry you And waste precious time But as time went on, I began to see I was only hurting the people Who were closest to me So I made the choice, to open myself up And loosen the bonds, That were keeping me stuck I realize now, despite my intentions The false sense of duty I acted under Was of my own invention It’s never a good thing, to bury your feelings As high as they go Almost brushing against the ceiling The longer you wait - the more harm you bring And no one but you Can lessen that sting So do yourself a favor - go talk it out Before our own monsters Start lurking about Before they latch onto, and begin to attack Know that suppression won’t cure you - and that is a fact You won’t be imposing - or making a fuss No matter the time nor place, You can always come to, and count on us
