I lied.
I lied to everyone.
it hurts.
I tell them what they want to hear
because they'd hate it if I told the truth.
they don't want to know I'm struggling
they like to think I'm fine.
I'm overflowing with words
I need to release them
speak.yell.scream.
I trust no one.
I trust no one enough to share this part of me.
no one understands
no one wants to know
I can't face it;
the disappointment and rejection
I'm sure to receive.
so I keep it to myself.
I'm ignoring the problem
hopping it will go away,
knowing it won't.
the overflow of words will come rushing out
and when the waters recede,
I don't know if I will still be left standing.
