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
