there are times,

where i feel confident. happy. good.

then the clock ticks.

and it goes away.

and i want to cry - but i can't.
               i've become n u m b .
     and somehow i know it's worse. i'm like a    
bottle of water, that wants to be opened and 
       poured out like my tears,
                      but they. won't. come.

      they are stuck, and cannot be let out.

so there i sit.
             numb.
          wanting to cry.
        but my bottle is closed,
          and closed tight. and i 
     somehow know that's worse
                         than being opened.
