Breakdown

Sometimes I just can't stand being me!
All my emotions start building up
The dam that holds back my negativity cracks
And through a small hole, my self loathing erupts
I touch it from time to time
Knowing I'm holding it back helps me focus 
But there are days it falls apart
No need to act like I don't know it
It eventually settles down
And I can put the skeletons back in the closet
Wash the tears from my face 
And clean the blood out of my faucet
I can paint my smile back on
Over top of these heavy eyes and frown
Because at least there is a bright side
I survived another breakdown
So here I go, time to shake it off and be brave 
Too much depends on me for me to be depressed
I'm just writing this to seal the hole in my dam
And release the demon sitting on my chest
