Emotion

Do you ever feel like screaming when nobody is around?
Do you ever keep all your emotions inside and not make a sound?
When you can't accomplish something no matter how hard you try
When you fail time and time again and just want to die
Do you ever feel that your finest is never good enough?
Do you ever desire to give up when life gets too tough?
When there is always someone more superior to you
Furthermore it doesn't matter what you do
Do you ever keep things bottled up inside
Do you ever feel like you've lost confidence, self esteem and pride?
The next time you're feeling down and low
And your life has suffered a vastly severe blow
Remember that there will always be
A better day to come, I can guarantee.
