Holding Back

Location

Why do I hold in 
when I know it gon' hurt me
why do I decide if I want to be participating
contaminating my heart and soul
for something that was never told
because of my mistakes
my life is always on break
But I ain't gonna lie 
I always held back in the past
opportunities that I left behind
they're out of sight
one in a million people in this world today
try to find that special one 
that's always making their day
But I think I found the one 
but she ain't know
Even though I told some people
I tried to keep in on the low
But I know my poetry be on point
all these poetry are all point
Back when I was on the point 
all I did was Just ignore
But this story is one that I never wrote
Cause I liked this girl since i was a little boy
But I never had the courage to tell her 
even though my mind was all about her
 
 
But like I said before is a story untold
and ima need more lines cause I want this shit gold
all I could say is that she is what I want 
and my heart belongs to her
even though we are apart
 
Now I'm gonna tell you how I really feel
cause this life that I'm living is really unreal
I got music and passion and things that I love
but you are the one that needs to fill this hole
in my heart
cause you are the one that I need in my life
I've waited so long for this day to come by
I'm still gonna be that same shy quiet guy
that ignores everybody that still passes by
I remember in 10th when I blanked out
Spanish class, every bodies name, i could recall ,
but yours was the one left out
cause i was spaced out in another world
where it was you and me
and no one couldn't separate us
but real shit
I like you
and I waited for this day so I could say to you
in poetry I tell you that I wanna be with you
and either way, yes or no, my heart belongs to you.
