By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

don't let them see you when there's something to you keep it hidden empty looks good this season hide your thoughts your feelings your wants and needs bury it all and put up that front that you wear so well cold, cynical, bitter, unemotional, objective, calm how do you do it so well? and don't let anyone inside no matter how much you want to collapse cave in give in rest but you can't keep fighting your feelings keep your shields up and don't let me in it's like a damn once it cracks, it breaks and can't be rebuilt the same so keep it up and keep me out I'll break you yet.The title says it all, really.
