An original poem by Lauren Becker
Bottled up inside
Are the words I never said
The feelings that I hide
The lines you never read
You see it in my eyes
Read it on my face
Trapped inside are lies
Of the past I can’t replace
With memories that linger
Won’t seem to go away
Why can’t I be happier
Today’s a brand new day
Yesterday’s are over
Even thought the hurting’s not
Nothing lasts forever
I must cherish what I’ve got
Don’t take my love for granted
for soon it will be gone
all you ever wanted,
of the love you thought you won
the hurt I’m feeling now
won’t disappear overnight
but someday, somehow
everything will turn out alright
no more wishing for the past
it wasn’t meant to be
it didn’t seem to last
so I have to set him free
