I’d say you don’t understand me, but it’s too cliché.
It’s easier to keep it bottled up,
Even if it isn’t terribly healthy.
I just try to keep my thoughts in check.

It’s easier to keep it bottled up,
Silently eating away.
I just try to keep my thoughts in check.
Save the grief for another day

Silently eating away.
It’s like I’ve got my heart in a headlock
Save the grief for another day
And I’ll wait until I’m taken away.

It’s like I’ve got my heart in a headlock
Dead to the world without a trace,
And I’ll wait until I’m taken away.
Save face by killing emotion.

Dead to the world without a trace,
Even if it isn’t terribly healthy.
Save face by killing emotion.
I’d say you don’t understand me, but it’s too cliché.

For Writing.
10 repeating lines, called a Pantoum, I believe. it's like 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 4, 6, 5, 7, 6, 8, 7, 9, 8, 10, 9, 3, 10, 1.

SO EMOOOOO. Really I just couldn't think of a subject so I decided to stick to angst.

I still feel bad for using the 'heart in a headlock' line. It's from an Imogen Heap song that I just love too much ):

I LOVE THESE TYPE OF POEMS.

It does border on emo, but there's also a side of it that's almost painfully normal, really. I like it. c:

That is a bit on the darker side, but I know I've felt like that many times before.
I like it lots. : D
