Breathe

 

Stay in. Hold in. Don’t shout. Ignore.

Try to smile, avoid it all.

It’s hard and builds up

Is this how it works?

 

Honesty isn’t meaningful enough

When saying it all exhausts

Don’t be a banshee

Even if you’re lost

 

Get hurt. It’s okay. It’s not worth it

There’s other times

To shout out loud

Cry by yourself

Breathe

 

Show them a smile

Talk about some new style

Can’t won’t shouldn’t have to

Not when it feels so vile

 

Honesty means everything and

Your feelings are valid as they brew

Be upset, be annoyed. It’s real, so scream

 

There is nothing if you hold it in

Nothing if you don’t push through

Feel your lips sting let it rip your skin
