Remain Calm

Don't show your emotions

That's your biggest weakness
When you feel the pain but you know you have to remain speechless
Holding so much that your nights become sleepless
Searching for ways to express your deepness
Remaining silent when you feel anger level rise
When you know someone is gone, or if your closest friend just lied
People betray you in your every day life
But remember to always hold your emotions inside
When you feel you feelings growing closer remain calm don't admit
Because something so good can easily go to shit
If you express how you feel and admit it's legit
They'll take it as weakness and play with it
So hold it in your chest, heart, brain
Even though bottling it up makes one feel insane
Don't express love, happiness, pain
Because someone will use your emotions as a game
When you feel sadness pumping in your chest
And stomach feels not at it's best
Find a place to get a rest
But whatever you do don't let your emotions be confessed
Emotions come and go just let them remain internal
If you feel caged in then write them down in a journal
I know sometimes that feeling feels eternal 
But emotions are different each day so it's not diurnal. 
So smile when your sad regardless how hard
It's really easy like the poker face during a game of cards
Your life is something only you know since the very start
So make sure only you know what lies in your heart
