Why I Ever

I tried to protecting myself
from being hurt.

Wanting to talk about it,
nothing bad behind it.
No bitterness, no anger
to come flooding out.

Why do we brush it off?
Hiding it beneath a rug.
Make it seem no one
needs to hear that stuff.

Open your mouth and say
what's on your mind, it'll hurt
if you keep it inside too long.

Don't make it harder for yourself
than it needs to. I don't seem to
remember why.
