Buried Alive

Don’t close your eyes to shed a tear, fight it.
Things could be much worse, so don’t you dare try it.
Suck it up, and push those feelings back,
bury your pain, regret, remorse, and denial and cover them in black.
Dig so deep and put it away.
Leave it buried under in an unmarked grave.
Hide it so deep, that no one can find it.
It could be much worse so you have no right to shine it.
You have no right to show your pain, what have you been through? You have seen no rain.

Stand up and keep going. Don’t take time to kneel.
Lay down for what? I see nothing that needs to heal.

These scars are laughable, you should feel ashamed.
To dare say you’ve been hurt to claim you’re in pain.

So here I am glowing and shining
Making others laugh, at the right timing.

Spending my days making sure others are okay,
because my scars are not here they have been put away.

I blind them with my outgoing spirit so they cannot see it.
They cannot go see what I have buried beneath my spirit.

Now get ready for work...
