Inside Out


Looking like a simmer on the outside,

Boiling under deep fire on the inside.

Waiting for a moment to scream!

I'm hot to the tocuh,

Waiting to burn; waiting to cause pain.

Does That make me insane?

 

Struggling to keep my life in check,

Inside feelings like a reck,

Just wanting this time to end.

Someone please send,

Someone to save me,

Something to help susstain me.

Why can't anyone see;

the fire burining under me?

 

I struggle to escape,

I Struggle to be free.

Yet, no one can see

the pain they are causing me;

they do not understand 

the outside is cool

the outside is strong.

But inside everything is going wrong.
