The Lock

77 6 1
                                    

All of my pain is kept locked inside
But all of a sudden it comes welling up like the tide.

At first a trickle and a drop,
But I can't make it stop.

Bit by bit it grows and swells,
'Till I could fill sewers and wells.

I hide behind a door,
and let it all pour.

When I turn the lock,
And you see my face,
Just know that it's all mock.

Nothing that you see is real.
It's not how I really feel.

But you don't need to know

I'd rather just wallow in my sorrow.
