IT ALL COMES DOWN TO ALL THOSE THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE SAID AND SHOULD HAVE SHOWN, BUT HID INSTEAD THOSE UNSPOKEN FEELINGS WE'VE HAD WITHIN KEPT TO OURSELVES SO WE COULD FIT IN SUBCONSCIOUS THOUGHTS, UNCONTROLLABLE FEARS DISCOMFORT INSIDE WE'LL STRUGGLE WITH FOR YEARS HAD WE KNOWN EACH OTHER'S PAINS WHAT SOLACE WOULD WE FIND?
WE'D REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT SO STRANGE TO BITE OUR TONGUES AND WALK AWAY NOT TO UPSET OUR FUTURE PLANS WITH FEELINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND TO FIND IT IN, IN OURSELVES A SELF WORTH, AN UNTAPPED WELL WHY WE SHOULDN'T BE SO SCARED BY OPINIONS OTHERS HELD
TRY TO SPIT IT OUT BUT GET CHOKED UP MISSING THE MOMENT THAT MEANT THE MOST SAYING SOMETHING NOW WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE PRESSURE MOUNTS, I SEARCH FOR WHAT TO SAY MINUTES TURN TO HOURS, HOURS TURN TO DAYS THOUGHTS SWIRL INSIDE MY HEAD BUT I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT
I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE, I'LL BE THERE AGAIN FEELINGS NO ONE KNOWS, NOT EVEN FRIENDS FEAR OF JUDGMENT ADDS TO THE DOUBT KEEP IT TO MYSELF OR SHOUT IT OUT
WHY DO WE SHUT OUR MOUTHS WHY DO WE CLOSE OUR MINDS WHY CAN'T WE EXPRESS OURSELVES LET OUT WHAT BUILDS INSIDE
