Keeping It Inside

It's very difficult to tell the one person you need how you feel, because you just bottle
it up and put on a seal,
You can't help but keep it to yourself and pretend you don't feel, it works out better
because then its not real,
Wishing he could understand would be to much to ask, because he doesn't have a parent that
he lacks,
Explaining your feelings would be a waste of time , because he will never know how it can
crush you inside,
So keeping it to yourself seems like the right way for it to be, why tell him when he just
can't see.
