The Truth Is I'm Scared

by parker-blackwood

I have this horrible habit of not feeling my feelings I don't know if its because I'm scared or if I even do feel Maybe in the moment I don't; feel Maybe those emotions just throw themselves into the ever spinning ball of feelings swirling in the catacombs of my mind And they just sit and fester Maybe all this is true: But where do they go, you ask. Well its a damning thing it is That one small, tinny, most insignificant event can release months worth of anger, despair, and fear and hate The tiniest thing can unveil the truth The curtains which hides my eyes lifts for maybe one moment But I already see it and I begin to cry Because what I see, I don't like What I see, I hate So I sit here clamping my teeth so hard they might shatter Holding my breath so in my throat sobs gather Worthless tears that don't even matter I threaten myself, I threaten, my heart I threaten I'll beat me until my skin parts Yet, nothing will happen I'll probably forget the one day that I felt And I'm ashamed to tell you why Because what I do is wrong: I just walk away I make no changes I once again feel no more Why? Because I'm scared out of my goddamn mind I'm scared, and I can't tell anyone Because if I do its real And if its real Then I'm fucked
