== Keep it inside ==

Why do I hurt so bad inside
With all the feelings that I must hide
Time after time again
I find myself in so much pain

He drinks, he's late
He's full of words, he's irate
Why is it that he turns things around
Uproar the universal peace, confound

My child, she's there
Her presence I cannot bare
To behold her dad
Just stark raving mad

It isn't fair that I must endure
The weight on my shoulders, for sure
Such pain and loneliness
Seething like an uncared abscess

The next day is always the same
It's all just a huge mind game
Rolling all around my head
Are the thoughts of the night before, full of dread

I want to scream
I want to yell
I want to fight
I want to tell

But once again I shall go forth
Diminishing my own self worth
Attempting to hold my head up high
Carrying on with a big, deep sigh

I don't know how much longer I can stay
I just want to run, run far away
Pick up what I need
Run out the door with great speed

With me must go
How I will do it, I don't know
My child, my dog, and my cats
Leaving behind my who knows what's and that's thats
