Out of Mind

People come and people go

Some giving brief glimpses of another life lived

A few tell their life story, letting it pour out as though their very existance depends on it

And others keeping it locked up as though by letting it out their world would come crashing down

Every once in awhile those who bottle it up feel it pushing and screaming to be let out

The emotion, the agony all kept put just out of reach

All of it getting closer and overflowing its boundaries

They try everything to keep it back, but soon it catches up to them

Just one little breather to let all of the excess out

Just one outburst to make everything better

Keep it quiet so you don't worry everyone

Don't let them know underneath things are in turmoil

Not showing what you put out of mind

What you want nobody to know
