in

in me, there are many hidden things. my heart holds so many secrets, wishes, dreams, longings, darkness, fears and thoughts. all in me. there's always something inside of us, things that no one else knows. there's also at times, an inner depth, quiet strength, and beauty within us; inner prayers, inner feelings that flash in our eyes for a split second before they're gone, there are hidden gems tucked within us waiting to be found,  there are things inside of us that have yet to grow, there are precious memories that we want to stay in us. there are precious emotions we want to remember. we hide many different things, all the various cacophony of emotions deeply bottled within us and many times we push people away, we hide away and shut ourselves down.

but do you know?

sometimes too, there are things we want to say but we can't (not just because we don't want to) because what we want to say might hurt the other person. there are times I want to pour out my whole heart and shed all my light just to give it to someone who matters to me but I can't. sometimes, the pain and turmoil within me is too much, too deep and I can't fully open my heart, I can't share my burdens with anyone.

sometimes, its so frustrating, its so difficult to live with the inner things that bind us down. the things no one knows and you'll never say. it can be so hard to express ourselves properly and truly. how many things do we keep inside of us?

(stay in me baby, now stay in me, so you can feel all of this heart. stay in me baby, now stay in me. someday, you will be able to hear it – my prayer; that someday, you will know of my heart)
