I Wonder If I Will Ever Be Well
The more I try to keep in the more I feel cold
Let me open up and let the story be told
My childhood was really rough
I cannot believe I made it through all of this stuff
I felt like I was trapped inside of a cage
Trying to dodge the uncontrollable rage
On pins and needles I had to walk
I couldn’t show emotion or freely talk
Now my problems are truly deep
I often nocturnal or cry myself to sleep
This wasn’t the life that I chose
I’ve had to live with it and bury all of my woes
Growing up this way was so unkind\
I lock it all away in the back of my mind
These secrets someday I will have to tell
I wonder if I will ever be well
I wrote this one after someone opened up to me. I hope their life gets better
