I want to write my thoughts
My prayers
But I can't
Because people read my stuff
So I'm hiding
Bottling up so many things inside

And I feel like I'm losing parts of myself

I can't post it online
There's nothing I can do
So I'm hiding
Bottling up all these things inside
My heart burns
Ashes falling from it, losing bits and pieces
Slowly... so slowly
I can't get away from the pain and confusion
My head pounds as lies and truths mix
I am empty yet should be full
And I'm hiding
Bottling up everything inside
My heart keeps burning
I know I'm losing every part of myself
Slowly... so slowly...
