I just feel tired, tired of everything.
I’m tired of having to put a mask on my feelings.
I hid so that people don’t worry about me.
Because I don’t want them to.
But I’m tired of hiding.
I pushed my real feelings deep down inside,
And I forgot where they went.
Now I don’t have to remember because they came back.
They came back too fast though.
I tried to pull them up through a funnel, but it disappeared.
They just came rushing back, as if they were a tsunami.


The author's comments:
I think we all fight a battle similar to this. One of feelings that we've pushed down deep inside ourselves out of fear of being bullied or becoming so depressed we think of bad things. If you don't, then maybe you just haven't had the feelings come back...so you're doing better than me ;) As long as you can keep them under control, it'll be okay. You are almost there.
