A Bottle of Emotions
I have a hard time expressing myself
letting friends know how I feel.
I keep my emotions locked up tight;
they are safer in a bottle.
Once in a while the bottle will open
slowly an emotion comes trickling through,
but as you start to see the real me,
I disguise it with a laugh.
I'm afraid of getting hurt when I show my emotions,
years of abuse; my feelings are tender.
I am steadily learning how to let go of the past;
it's the hardest thing I ever had to do.
You are there for me as I am for you,
a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.
We support each other in all that we do
I couldn't have wished for a better friend.
Nothing will erase the memories we made
I will always cherish the good ones.
Just like my love for you; they will never fade.
Not once did I think it could have happened to me,
but now I know
I deserve to be loved;
I thank God for giving you to me.
We have our ongoing struggles,
but they only make us stronger
we can get through anything together;
of that I have no doubt.
