Feelings

I know how you feel inside
I've been there many times
the pain running thick and deep
and the tears bring you to your defeat.

I can't say completely
nor can I deny
I've been there many times
more often than I'd like.

I've been the lowest
I've had my downs
I've learned how to live
and smile through the rounds..

Something I can not defeat
even though I try
is this growing need
to break down and cry.

I try to be strong
to believe it's all wrong
I try not to break
if just for others sake.

I know how it feels
to be down so low
I know its real
even if the feelings don't show.
