Here I am, writing my feelings down,
Pretending today I didn't wear a frown.
It's as blatant as the tears on my cheeks,
Sometimes I think my unhappiness reeks.
I wish I could simply bottle it up
Or maybe pour it into a cup
And serve it to a stranger
But with that, comes the inherent danger
Of making somebody else sad.
I'm thinking that is just as bad
As me having to feel it.
Either way my pain is lit
Like a candle by the fire
It is my desire
To just feel something else
for a change
It'll go away
It isn't here to stay
Forever.
