My Little Hurricane

Work, stress, pain,

Constantly in vain

Bottle up my emotions

Not let my eyes rain

Reach the expectations

That everyone wants achieved

Lock away all my feelings

Not ever being asked what I need

Put on a mask

So that no one can tell

Do all the tasks

Finish by the bell

People named me polar bear

My mood swings a lot

But no one really seems to care

What I carry in my pot

Shed tears of joy

Or break down in vain

Feel like Helen of Troy

Or fall down, slain

As confused as I am,

I have words to say

But they're held up by a dam

Waiting for that one day

I'm a storm of words,

Still at sea

But once I hit land,

I will no longer be me

I'll be my own little hurricane,

Spinning in the water

Holding up my rain,

Being the perfect little daughter

Someday  she'll revealed,

Who was hiding under my skin

And everyone will finally yield,

Wondering, the whole time, where had she been?
