Tears

I hold them back, not letting them flow

The pain in my heart, how can I let anyone know

I hold them back, my eyes are blood red

The anger within in me I so much resent

I hold them back, with a forced smile on my lips

The jealousy that you are happy, how can I be so selfish?

I hold them back, I laugh out loud

The constant rejections, all my enthusiasm is now mellowed

I hold them back, put up a composed face

This was just a small win, what if it’s just a phase

I try so hard to hold them back

Confining them in two blue barracks

My feelings now have crossed the threshold

Those salty drops, my eyes can no longer hold

They flow now like the silent river

Letting me feel all the fervor
