It all builds up

Day after day

Soon I’m a time bomb

Ticking away.

Suppressing and hiding

All tears and pain,

Wearing a mask

Hiding the shame.

Can’t see straight

Vision of red,

Can barely think,

Short of breath

Adrenaline’s pumping,

It’s in my veins,

Wanna die,

Craving pain.

Emotional cage

All locked up

Pressure rises,

I’ve had enough

Wanna cry,

So frustrated,

Feeling rage

So aggravated.

It all builds up

Day after day

Soon I’m a time bomb

Ticking away.
