I breathe slowly
As my palms sweat
I try not to attract attention to myself
Every time I feel this
I can't put away my fears
All I show on the outside
Is the calm façade and carefree mask
Inside I'm screaming for release
From feelings that overwhelm so quickly
I force these feelings down
In hopes to hide the fear I keep inside
So many memories
So many regrets
I try so desperately to hide
But that part of my life is gone now
I don't want to burden you with sad things
Why do you not mind my baggage?
And the extras my life brings
