Keeping It To Yourself -

You need a friend today

But it never happens after knowing your name

Before people say good day they ask how much you weigh

Then they say your skin looks gray

You put a lock on yourself

And try to throw the key so far away

From all the demons, so called specialist grown-ups

Commenting between the cups of coffee

Putting you in cuffs

You are the writer of a novel of pain

Still no one understands

That you feel ashamed because — you keep it to yourself

Keeping it to yourself

You need a friend today

But it never happens after knowing your name

They say you have a distorted view on yourself

But how can the view be anything else but wrong

Hearing the same old song

You put a lock on yourself, and try to throw the key so far away

From all the demons and the grown ups, putting you in xxxxxxx cuffs
