Never Let Them
Never let them see you sad, is what I tell myself.
Never let them see you cry, I what I hold true.
But what happens when those feelings, start to boil inside of you.
And you don't have a clue on what to do, once they start rising up to the top.
Should I just let that bubble pop and have everyone feel the wrath
of my decades of pain and regret from the things I did in my past.
Or just stuff it back down and smother it, to let it continue to eat at my existence.
Like if I were to let it go away I would have missed it.
Never let them see you sad, is what I tell myself.
Never let them see you cry, is what I hold true.
Avoiding these feelings, is easier to do then telling the truth.
That I'm sad and lonely. That my life is like baloney.
A combination of the leftover parts of a good person.
That tries to do good, but make matters worse in the end.
Never let them see you sad, is what I tell myself.
Never let them see you cry, is what I hold true.
Between me and you, I know this logic is flawed.
And I know, it will continue to leave emotional scars.
So I'll keep moving down this sad and lonely street.
Because I'm not ready yet to admit defeat.

Man, you need to learn to let it all out, without ever worrying about what other people think.
As long as you’re being honest to yourself, that’s all that matters !
Otherwise, the suppression & oppression has the potential to manifest itself as illness deep within your physical being, on all levels; emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and physically.
Blessings to you, and I hope you find some peace when your courage emerges, to do right by you !
Self preservation, is critical to your ongoing well being, and don’t ever forget that... mate ~ 🌹😎🎈🌞🦋
