DISTRESS

Wishes will never come true

When what you wish for isn’t next to you

You know what you want

But to show your love would be too much

Always trying to hide

Your feelings inside

Wanting to express your deep-hearted tenderness

They don’t understand your sadness

When life has you in distress

With all the love in your heart

You’re holding it back 

Knowing it will soon explode

But you still keep hold

While it rips at your soul

But you still keep it inside

Is that my lie?
