I swallow back my feelings and put on a smile for my audience and the photograph
Because why should I allow myself to feel sad when I can just hide behind a laugh
All this emotion has built up and it's hard to let it all go, I have to admit
To allow myself to feel sad after somebody just gave my my heart back when I was happy with them keeping it
The problem is I can no longer cry, because I don't want to face this feeling and submit
I used to bury my head in my pillow and let it out
But now ur stays stuck lodges in my throat not coming out, not even if I shout
And so I lay awake at night and when I can't sleep I write this poem in my head
Staring at the ceiling from my bed
