Something inside my heart rips. I can feel it, I can hear it, but I don’t know what it is. There’s a faint beating; distant, like the ocean’s bottom. It hurts, but I can bear.
That’s all I’ve ever done is take it. I’ve always dealt with the pain.
I never let anything show. I mean, I don’t keep everything in; it’s just when I’m hurt.
How can I let people know that I’m crying inside; that all I want to do is scream. Until my lungs go numb, and I bleed from the inside.
My hearts rips as the days go by.
But what am I supposed to do about it. It’s just the way I am.
People criticize others for not crying, but how can I be when it’s pain
and suffering. There’s no end to this in sight.
Help me, hear me, my heart rips to beat of a drum.
The aching will never disappear. It’s time for me to move on, get with my own life. I shouldn’t be worrying about others, however impossible it may seem.
Just hear me out and listen to my song.
There's always something there, quiet, subtle, distant, like the ocean's bottom; something in my heart, something ripping.

I know exactly how you feel here. I've been through pretty much what you've expressed here. I always took pain and expected to deal with it, because nobody would be there to hold me, so I'd have to hold myself. Very sad, I can relate.
