I Can't Let Go

Everything burns
My body
My heart
My soul

I want to cry
But to cry
is to be weak
To let others see

I must
Hide my emotions
So no one can see
the real me

Because if they did
They would hate me
Send me to a doctor
Wonder what is wrong with her?

They would freak out
Because I'm depressed
Want to know
What led me there

Do they really want to know?
What led me here?
Myself
My freaking self

So I must keep
My emotions at bay
Pretend to be happy
for their sakes

But now
can you see?
Why it is so important
that I don't let it go
