Bottle-Up Your Feelings



Bottle-up your feelings.
Repress your inner core.
Bungle your expressions. Your body will keep score.
Bottle-up your feelings.
Reject your inner heart.
Wangle your affections. Your spirit will depart.
Bottle-up your feelings.
Avoid your inner light.
Mangle your cognitions. Your belly will ignite.
Bottle-up your feelings.
Sidestep your inner soul.
Tangle your reflections. Your recall will cajole.
Bottle-up your feelings.
Deny your inner fact.
Strangle your perceptions. Your psyche will retract.
Bottle-up your feelings.
Smother your inner faith.
Throttle your convictions. Your nature will post-wraith.
