Discrete...

Feeling down...

Discrete...

When my eyes leak and my heart skips a beat
I try so hard to be discrete even when the pain peaks,

I feel down but never out
I get energized by this pain and instead of pout I want
to scream and shout,

But I stay discrete because I don't want to repeat the
mistakes I've made in the past the same mistakes that
bit me in the a*s,

I try to learn from my past mistakes
and not make them again so I just pretend everything is
okay because eventually tomorrow will be a new day,

One day that pain will hide itself just like I hide my frustration
so I just stay patient knowing that the smile will return and I won't
want to hide like the sun behind a cloud my frown will be turned upside
down,

So for now I will stay discrete
I will let the pain peak
I will let my eyes leak
I will be okay cause tomorrow is a new day...

U have really hit nail right here. Always discret, learn from your past mistakes, and keep on going because tomorrow is a new day. I like it.
