Sometimes

A Poem by Eagergreen

I have a hard time letting people in but I also needed to let them see a part do I didn't feel so stuffy in my chest so I let out anger I'm terrified to let out what makes me cry and laugh

Sometimes holding back
doesn't mean not speaking
what your thinking

Sometimes all it means
is that you won't let yourself
go a step out of line

Sometimes it means
not smiling or crying
stepping back or falling apart

Sometimes the one
who grabs the flag
and stands tall on their enemies

Sometimes that one
is the one who is holding back
they push down everything

And sometimes they blow up
pieces flying apart so all you
can do is let the blood hit your face

Sometimes we need
to let out our tears and our laughs
just as much as our opinion and steam
