PAIN INSIDE

They tell me to let it out,

To give them my worst,

But filled with nothing but doubt,

It seems like it's you I hurt.

-

I don't know what's what,

I can't even comprehend,

Why we can't come out of this uncut,

Yet still the tragedy begins.

-

Being mindful of others,

Being careful what you say,

Tip toeing on eggshells while I smother,

There is no other way.

-

Never thought I'd grow to love him,

Though platonic, yet still real,

Never knew that things get so dim,

That one small action would seal the deal.

-

Can't think clearly on my own,

Someone always pulling the strings,

Got no place to call home,

No happy tune to sing.

-

I am never to be trusted,

Never thought as good enough,

My mechanical heart is rusted,

My shaking hands are in cuffs.

-

Problems can be resolved,

Issues are there to stay,

Sadness follows and gets involved,

White and black mixes to gray.

-

Please understand I'm broken,

That I have no where else to hide,

I want to be outspoken,

I don't want to keep the pain inside.
