I want to cry
but I can't.
'Cause if I cry
there would be a tsunami
that would flood and drown me.
so i don't cry
'Cause I don't wanna drown.
I don't want to drown
in feelings I don't even understand
and I don't wanna feel
these feelings
because then I have to confront
and accept them.
But then the wall falls
and with it my strength,
i try to keep them up
'Cause who am I
without these?
