Kept It Inside

The time I almost died, I kept it inside... I don't want your pity, I've got too much pride... When my heart was broken, no words were spoken... Because I didn't wanna hear, "I told you so".... I just kept it inside so no one would ever know. I kept it inside, even though I cried when I was all alone.... I don't fit in anywhere, feel like I don't even belong.... I kept it inside when I was a victim of sexual harassment on the job, because I needed the money and swore that I would never ever rob a soul again..... I kept it inside when I lost my friend... Lost to substance abuse from depression, and when its all gone it turns into aggression...... I kept it inside when I lost myself to alcohol and not enough rest... Tried to stay high so I would never come down, but it didn't solve anything because it always came back around. The pain that is, which always comes back again.. I kept it inside... Because it's much easier to just pretend... So..... I kept it inside
