Taking A Breath

Taking a breath
Getting ready to scream
 
The pain building up
And starting to scheme
 
The anger and frustration
Piling up inside
Fighting to find a way into the bright light
 
One small scrape or a cut
And then it’s all over
As the anger seeps out
And the shell of yourself starts to roar
 
It’s having to hide it all
That really hurts the most
Having to laugh and smile
While holding in the ghost
 
It really builds up 
As your friends find no holes
In the shell of yourself
That holds no hosts
 
So get ready
Take that breathe
And scream
For all your frustrations need to let off some steam
 
And soon the time will come when you take the leap
Finding that your pain needs to be seen
Seeking out help 
And finding great friends
That love and support you until the very end
