Repressing emotions is kinda my thing See I don't have any artistic talent so painting a picture of my sadness would only cause more stress I have a certain degree of athleticism but running when you want to cry is a losing battle (trust me) Poetry helps distract for a few minutes but writing truth can make facing it harder And talking? To people? About my sadness??? Don't be silly, my friends are awful at hiding both their pity and their boredom and neither one is welcome And my parents would tell me to stop being over dramatic which is even more unwelcome So yeah, I keep everything buried for as long as possible and when it emerges I say I'm tired and cry in the shower
