You wake up in the morning
You put on your smile
You go to work
You laugh with your boss
You keep it in.
You drive to the beach
You breathe in the salt
You spend time with your sisters
You don't let them see it
You keep it in.
You stay up at night
You pull at your hair
You remove your heart
You don't let it crush you
You keep it in.
You don't talk to your mum
You don't talk to your friends
You don't see your therapist
You dig yourself a hole
You keep it in.
You sit in your room
You don't move an inch
You can't feel your arms
You ignore the whispers in your ears
You keep it in.
You slice up your legs
You rip off your fingernails
You empty your stomach
You try to kill what's left of you
You keep it in.
You keep it in.
You keep it in.
You keep it in.
You keep it in.
You keep it in.
Until you can't.
