Beware of the Bottle

There's a bottle
Tucked away in a special part of my heart
Its private and its secret
And it wants to be left apart

It keeps hidden my opinions
My betrayal and hurt
It keeps the smile on everyone's face
Makes me not blurt

But they poke and they prod
And it cracks slow and steady
So quiet no one knows
And nobody is ready

And it shatters all at once
Leaving no home to hide
It cuts and it bleeds
Keeping nothing inside

It unravels every thought
Frees every emotion
Lets out a storm
Of a raging ocean

And when it calms
There is nothing left
Stolen away
In one single breath

So beware of the bottle
As calm as it seems
It holds a fire
That can only crush dreams
