Trying to hold it all in
Being strong to hide what’s killing you from within

A soul so broken,
a mind so lost.
My thoughts all woken,
A path I’m yet to cross.

A fear a bout the future ,
That’s what buries me deep.
Too young to worry and sit there under pressure ,
While all I’m told is “work harder” and all those words are the thoughts I keep.

the voice speaking back poisons my mind more,
As I believe everyone said ,
And left feeling unsure

An agonising feeling and you need it to end,
that way you won’t ruin yourself .
An“ it won’t always be like that” said by a friend.
And yet again here I am again having to save myself

Here I am alone in an empty room crying my eyes out .
My soul into pieces but my mind and everything shouts .
Me trying not to be a burden ,but the weight I shoulder sinks every inch of me,
And a smile I hold but the inside of me you’re unable to see.
