Trapped

I need to weep, I need to sigh

I need to scream, I need to cry

My pain is buried deep inside

It can't come out, its forced to hide

No matter how hard I try to shout

My throat is tight, nothing will come out

A thousand clamps around my chest

Restricting my breath and making me stress

The tears that try to leak from my eyes

Are trapped in my heart, waterfall in size

Why can't anything be expressed?

How can I sleep with this load in my soul?

This darkness is endless, its swallowing me whole

I can't get away

The hurt is here to stay

My head pounds and my eyes burn

My legs are stiff, my stomach churns

I want to snap, I have to crack

I can't go on, I'm feeling trapped 

Why can't no one see? See that my silence doesn't mean

I'm not crying, not screaming, not breaking anything
