Not one to spill         ***** the cap on more tightly Not one to share        Close the books and bind it shut Not one to show weakness        A well of positivity must not dry out Don't show, don't tell, toxic thoughts grow on delicate vines It's fine. It's fine. I will be ok. I'm ok. A roundabout way to comfort myself. but it's the most I can do. as I watch a joyful conversation. Will I be forgotten? If I say nothing will I never be noticed? Am I truly valued among these people? Stupid, silly, baseless thoughts. I know it's not true. I know that's what they think. but I can't help it. These thoughts fester and bloom. Over and over and over again.

A flower that festers
Not one to spill         ***** the cap on more tightly Not one to share        Close the books and bind it shut Not one to show weakness        A well of positivity must not dry out Don't show, don't tell, toxic thoughts grow on delicate vines It's fine. It's fine. I will be ok. I'm ok. A roundabout way to comfort myself. but it's the most I can do. as I watch a joyful conversation. Will I be forgotten? If I say nothing will I never be noticed? Am I truly valued among these people? Stupid, silly, baseless thoughts. I know it's not true. I know that's what they think. but I can't help it. These thoughts fester and bloom. Over and over and over again.
