     I try to tell the world how I feel inside

They tell me my feelings are my own and I shouldn’t hide

But when I start to talk they act like they don’t care

Everyone changes the subject as if I’m not even there

Most people have problems of their own, no doubt

I know cause that is all they ever seem to care about

Maybe it would be better if I said nothing at all

Or maybe keep everything inside, suck it up and fall

Forgetting myself just to help all the rest

Just maybe that would be best

But when it all goes down in the end

I will be my own best friend

Shouting in the darkness of my own mind

Trying to make sense of the things I can’t find

It’s just hard to believe no one has time for me

I know it sounds selfish and hard to see

But I need my time too

The world doesn’t revolve around all of you

I hold pain inside that continues to grow

A pain inside that no one else will know

Because no one takes the time to hear

Everything inside, and everything I fear

All of the things that hurt me really bad

And all of the things inside that make me sad

It has been really hard for me

To help others break free

From their problems and feelings they hide

While I kept my own bottled inside

Finally when it comes my time to share

I can’t find anyone around who would care

So just remember when I stop talking

I just may start walking

Letting my feelings show though my pain

Releasing my feelings from my brain

This is why I fear no one will understand

All the power I hold in my hand

All of these secrets I am forced to keep

I see them in my thoughts and dream them in my sleep

Stacked to the top with problems not of my own

I never would have helped if only I had known

Maybe someone, someday

Will listen to what I have to say

So tomorrow I won’t have to make

All of my smiles so damn fake

Because I have had about all I can take

This is my last straw…
