Holding Back Emotion

Simple things that come and go Are easy to release From the grip of hope in your heart They can be soon be forgotten with ease At times though, when you hold all in Your heart for no eyes to see Can make you desperate for compassion And just peace and harmony Of course, our stubborn selves in hand Block us from the revealing the truth My heart once soft is now turned to stone Much different now than in youth Tired of lies and treachery And pointless words of life Not once is the point brought up That it involves hardships and strife Hate you now or hate you later It's all a matter of time But hate is a notorious word It's meaning doesn't fit the crime Let it out, let it loud Let your inner soul be heard The time for your final attack is now For defensive tactics are at this time absurd
