What We Keep to Ourselves

Keep it cool, hold back your tears

Lower your voice, keep it in, don’t shout

Keep breathing, compose your temper

Be completely and utterly calm

 

You’re not stressed, it’s just in your head

Stop crying, but you're a child

Stop yelling, but the voices in your head are too loud

Did you leave me cause I got too much?

 

Did you leave me cause I had nothing left to say?

Did you leave me because you were done?

Did you leave me because you couldn’t handle it?

F**k, f**k, f**k, I’m losing control

 

S**t, s**t, s**t, I’m falling apart

Stop crying, calm down, wipe your tears away

Stop being dramatic, it’s only a boy

Just breathe, just breathe, lower your voice

Relax your muscles, relax your mind

But it hurts, s**t, it hurts

Lower your voice, can’t you see?

 

Lower your voice, can’t you hear yourself?

You’re being too loud, calm down, inhale

Exhale, oh f**k, s**t, d****t

 

Lower your damn voice, no, no

NO! NO! STOP PUNCHING THE WALL

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale

 

Wipe your tears away and compose yourself

F**k, I’m trying, but it’s hard

S**t, I’m trying, but it’s hurts

Just breathe, just breathe, just breathe
