Instead of Letting it Build
When my chest swells with unbearable emotion
There is no one I trust with this
Instead of letting it build
So that it can explode
I release it in my works
For a safe passage out of my heart
So that I can live another day
Because I know this can't go on forever
My tale it written in my poems
Waiting to be discovered
