*Bottle it up
Like tears in an hour glass
Hide it away
Like the skeletons in the closet
Keep it quiet
Like the secrets between you
Let it build
Those walls around your heart
Cover it up
The scars you hid for so long
Ignore it now
So it can fester and putrefy
Let it break
Even though you swore it wouldn't
Let it be
Even if it's just for the time being
Let it flourish
Because you know it's going to
Give it time
I promise it's worth the wait
Let it go
It's not always in your hands
Open it up
So your wounds can breath
Risk it soon
Because sometimes you need to take action
Take it now
Because not everythings given to you
A delicate balance must be held
Between knowing when to wait
And when you need to work for it.
It's easy to say you cannot control
When you don't know what to do.
Things are given to us, rarely
Without risks you get nothing.
Fear and history make us cautious
But we can't let them control us*
