Savage screams seep from my heart,
Letting out my anguish that had threatened to tear me apart.
Tears are left, stinging in my eyes from being kept in.
Still watering eyes become the gates to my past that I have held within.
Memories come flooding back,
Breaking down barriers, not giving me any slack.
Already healed wounds, once again begin to bleed.
It pours down my skin like acid, burning a life that I never wanted to
lead.
Locked in emotions suddenly break down their door,
Hurting me like never before.
You asked me once why I held everything inside.
It's because I have so much to hide.
You ask me how I keep struggling on,
Truth be told, I don't want to live to see another dawn.
Years of torment finally reduce me to tears.
I can't let go of anyone's jeers.
I don't want to have to hold back anymore,
But I'm afraid of messing up like I did before.
