Tears

Every time I think of what's happening
I almost break down in tears

I'm stronger than that
I continually tell myself
And I will not sucumb to that petty human reaction to sorrow and pain

I will lock it up inside
Where it can never be reached
By anyone except me

When I lock sometehing up it stays that way
For if I ever touched the door to release even one
They would all cave in on me
And I would never be able to get out alive
