There will be times
Where I stare into nothing
There will be times
Where I don’t feel anything
There will be times
Where I can’t say anything
Trying to open up, and approach someone, to tell them how I feel
Makes my hands clammy
Makes my heart beat faster
Makes me feel like the walls are closing in on me
Makes me feel like I am burdening them with my worries
When I go to open my mouth
I am shut down
So, why say you are there? When you are not?
Whether you’re a family or a friend or even a foe
Just know..
It takes a lot of courage
For someone, like me
To approach you
So it’s easier for me
To hide the pain
To hide the hurt
To just talk louder than my pain
To just laugh louder than the hurt
To cover up
What I feel
Just so
I don’t burden you…
