Bottle it up/store up emotions/trying hard not to explode/the pressure building/the urge is getting stronger/hard to let things go/trying my best/when it blows up/to get out of the way/trying to hide the things that aren’t pretty/trying to differentiate/the people who can understand/and the phonies/
Get it out/things will get better/when I try to tell some people/what’s it like living inside my head/some people will tell me/that they won’t even take the time/to listen deeply/when the things that I try to hide/are the very things they needed to hear for themselves/
If you aren’t safe/I need to have discretion/sharing my heart with others/is hard for me sometimes/because wondering if you are safe/is something that I don’t want to wonder anymore/It’s easier just to shut you out/than try to figure you out/
Sometimes it’s okay to vent/but please keep in my mind/that not everyone can be that person/who you are safest with/the people who are safe/will hurt with you when you do/and will value the same things/when I feel hopeless/when I feel worthless/
