Bottled Up


Beyond the screams

Beyond the shouts

Behind the fights 

Behind the walls

That is where you'll find me

 

Desperate to escape

Desperate to fit in

Trying to change

Trying to stand

Just breathe in and then breathe out

 

Counting all the days

Counting all the lies

Questioning why this

Questioning why that

It just never seems to make sense

 

One day it will end

One day I'll be free

To live on my own

To live something new

But until then,  just keep on
