Never Let Them See You Bleed



You feel angry
You feel relieved
You feel vengeful
You feel insulted
You feel pathetic
You feel free
You feel like throwing a grenade at a party
Or screaming at a wall
Or sitting alone in a meadow
Feet in the pond
The rage in your chest
Greets your fake little laugh
In your disturbed peaceful mind
"Come on stupid, you're strong enough"
Smile after your tears strike you blind
'Cause you're no longer handcuffed
