The air is thick,
Hard to breathe,
Full of thoughts that
I've hidden underneath.

They have grown,
Building, building,
Until I am bursting
At the seams with feelings.

Just one more punch
And I'll be pushed over the edge.
Turns out it was just a poke
That broke past my limits instead.

I was hit with a rush
Of emotions overloaded.
I broke down completely;
It was about time I exploded.

If I had just had someone
With whom I could confide,
I would have shared, bit by bit,
All the feelings I hid deep inside.
