I Keep it All Inside

By Lara Hardinge

Originally published in Youth Allied By CFIDS, Winter 1996


I keep it all inside
The pain I'm going through
I want to run away and hide
But I don't want to hurt you


I keep it all inside
When you ask how I am
I have to admit, I lie
Can't you see the pain I'm in?


I keep it all inside
Wonder when I'll get a break
From this bumpy ride
How much more can I take?


I keep it all inside
Sometimes I want to die
At least they can say I tried
Don't ask me why


I keep it all inside
I want to lay it all to rest
To whom may I confide
And get this off my chest?


I keep it all inside
Is there health around the bend
On lonely nights I've cried
When will this all end?
