I find myself crippling my bones from the inside
My heart pumping twice as fast
I don’t know what to say
My whole inner world is shaking
I move and act tough
Make them think I don’t care
When in reality my blood is boiling
Through my poker face, tears welled up in a corner somewhere
I walk away and cry like a small child
I shiver and hug myself tight
I taste salty water on my lips
Even though im not ready ,I get up
Stand straight because that’s what I do best

I personally in my own way ,hide my feelings. I always put on my familiar hard face on when i don't want someone to see how i truly feel.
