Deal With It
**** it up
Bottle it up
And put it all away
Weakness isn't an option
Vulnerability is pathetic
Don't let them close
You will be hurt
So much more
Smile
Hide it
Don't let it out
Ignore the flashbacks
Ignore the memories
You can handle the pain
You need those walls
Build them up
Shelter the pain
No one else
Needs to know
How broken you really are
Just show the surface
But don't look for pity
Pity makes it worse
But you know that
**** it up
Bottle it up
Hide the pain
It doesn't matter anyway
You can cry later
Feel the pain in silence
Cry yourself to sleep
When no one else is watching
Weakness isn't an option
And vulnerability is so pathetic
This isn't me telling you what to do. This is a lecture I've told myself. I just wanted to write it down. Maybe even show people I'm close to...
