Thoughts and Words

This is a poem I wrote a while ago:
~~~
So many words want to come out.
But I hold them in.
I'm afraid to hurt someone,
afraid to make them think ill of me.
They burn inside me.
They build inside me,
and form a wall,
tight around my heart.
Until one day I let them out.
Words come spilling from my mouth,
along with tears from my eyes.
I talk,
scream,
cry.
And my feelings will pour out
like a waterfall,
tumbling to the ground
at my feet.
Then I'll feel better.
For a while.
Then the thoughts will come.
They'll start rebuilding,
even though I try to stop them.
And they'll always be there--
Those things you want to say,
but can't.
Those things you wish you would've said,
but it's too late.
Those thoughts that make you ashamed,
unhappy,
confused,
scared.
They'll always be there.
Always.
~~~
Deep, huh? :)
