I just swallowed the sentence I so badly wanted to spit out

In some way, it's my way, I use it to cope when I don't have hope

I'll hold back my words, so no one gets hurt

Even though that's all I feel, hurt

I don't have anywhere to go

No where I call home

I'm all alone

Without any hope

With this heart, who only knows hurt
