Keep It and It Grows
You keep it in, you think it’s gone,
but silence only makes it strong.
The pain you hide, the tears you fight,
return again in the dead of night.
You wear a smile, you play the part,
but heaviness still fills your heart.
You push it down, you lock the door,
yet it comes back louder than before.
The truth is this: emotions stay,
they don’t just vanish when you look away.
Face them now, don’t let them win,
healing starts when you face within.
by Rosalind P. Steed
