Stoic

I don’t want to share this pain
And feel good
I don’t want to tell you how terrible I feel
And get consoled
I would rather let it consume me
Part by part
Bit by bit
Breath by breath
I would rather give myself to it
Let the vultures feed on
Dead and stoic
I don’t want to share this pain 
And feel good
