Locked Inside

I needed a way to release from inside, All of the tears that I never cried, My head was exploding from all I kept in, While onto my face I glued a fake grin; I hid inside my suspicion and fears, And locked them away for many years; They built up a wall and trapped me within, Until I didn’t even know where to begin; I had every emotion locked in my heart, So I started to write, I made it my art.
