Poems of My Life Vol. I

Bottled Up

I know that we have had these
Feelings of something stuck inside
Such feelings that give us great unease
Here in our hearts they bide.

Locked up inside like a bottle of wine
Uneasiness continues to run down my spine
That I know it won't be long, I can't keep it trapped
All of my feelings, my emotions, bottled up!

Like a volcano, it will soon erupt
Silently waiting for the hold to break
Then a rush of emotions soon will pop
Oh, how much will my heart can take?

Yes, it is wrong to keep them at bay
Hoping that everything will be okay
I guess i was wrong, so very wrong
A horrid illusion that I was strong.

Ten years I have held them up
Ten years of suffering, I've had enough
Wasted tears and hopes of nothing
Bottling them up is all I've been doing.

But I can't take it, not anymore!
No more running away
Oh my old self, I truly abhor
For causing me to feel this way.

I have to open up, and indeed I have
Such freedom I gained and soon I loved
The feeling of weights being lifted from me
Thank God! I was finally free.

And I thought I would suffer, guess I was wrong
Only when I've opened up that I'm truly strong
Keeping them locked was a terrible mistake
Living in a lie, a life that is fake.

I hope in the future all would be free
That they can open up with such glee
Though it may be ideal, I know not all can do it
In a world of insecurities, it will be an epic feat.
