I carry
Things that I should bury
Weighing me down
Bringing me lower to the ground
But I can’t let it go
Too scary
To step into the unknown
When fear and pain are all I’ve known
The light seems too bright
And I’m used to the dark lurking
On the other side
The day always outshadowed by the night
The moments I feel happy
Varies
Emotions trapped inside like a canary
Because guilt and shame
Stuck to joy like glue
So to shut down was all I could do
Become numb
Become grey
Let all the feelings fade
So the pain wouldn’t stay
Tiptoeing around my heart
Wary
That if I allowed myself to feel
A door...
