holding back

holding on to feelings
and never letting go,
holding back the feelings
and never letting them show.

trying to fight hard times
and hold my head up,
trying to bite my tongue
at times when I'm fed up.

soon the tongue will begin
to bleed and my heart will
begin to ache,
the clouds will overfill
and thunder will make the earth shake.

i seem to be holding back...
for what reason?...
.....i don't know,
instead of holding back
i should be letting things go.
