suppression

So I turn the sides of my lips up

because inside I feel like breaking down.

I don't want to be a burden on anyone so I swallow my feeling and let them drown.

Some days I don't want to get up, but time is the present, not time to mess around. 

Sometimes I want to end it, but I don't want to end up six feet in the ground.

The one I called aunty turned on me, now she talks to me and I'm supposed to be proud?

I hope she can take what she dishes out, Because the tables have turned now.
