I BURIED MY HEART

I dug a deep hole
I  buried my heart
I buried my feelings
So I wouldn't break apart
I went through life
Missing pieces of me
The parts that I buried
Still trying to break free
I buried my self worth
I buried my voice
I buried the secrets
I didn't have a choice
I buried my emotions
Alive, ten feet under
I didn't want to feel the pain
But then, I began to wonder
If I dig them back up
And I feel what I feel
How do I know;
That the pain will heal?
How do I know;
That I won't break apart
After being buried alive
What's left of my heart?
All that I know;
Is that I'm not alone
And I'll never let heartache
Turn my heart to stone
