The Secret Flow

You rip me apart
And leave me to bleed
But the blood that flows
I let no one see

Because for everyone else
I have to be strong
I must carry their burdens
And help them along

So I bottle all my hurt
Deep down inside
Where no one can see it
And in myself I hide

Don't try to make me feel better
You'll just make it worse
Instead I'll help you out
It's both a blessing and a curse
