You're a seemingly calm vortex
A sealed up gassy bottle that doesn't like to be shaken
You may appear cold as ice but I'm not mistaken
I know
You don't like to appear weak but you can not do it all alone
It's harder to deal with drama and easier to be on your own
And that's what you say
When you tell everyone you are fine and push them away
Your anxiety screams at you to show no weakness
You replace your fear with icy coldness
Block out any feelings of discomfort, insecurity, confusion, and sadness
You bolt your door
But, I don't let go though my hand is stuck in between
I am willing to feel the pain
Just for you to let me in
You bolt the door again and again
You scream go and whisper stay
You fail to realise I'm more headstrong than you are;
I'm not leaving either way.
