Bottled Up

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

What's coming will come and we'll just have to meet it when it does.

When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at at a time.

Be careful what you wish for, there's always a catch.

Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth

   We could say many things to many people. We could say many different things to many different people. But sometimes we choose not to, and we keep to ourselves. We choose not to say anything at all and usually it hurts us in the long run. So meet it head on. You know, you may have a best friend, but we know that with our best friends we either love them like a brother or a sister. But the thing is, that we have a chance to lose them. With a brother or a sister we can never really lose them. They're tied to us in blood ways, they even live with us, grew up with us. So why is it that when we don't agree with something they said, even if it's just a little minor thing, we overlook it? We do this everyday, time and time again.
    Sometimes if you don't say anything at all it'll just gnaw at you until you're completely raw. Inside and out. Then one day it'll just be too much and you just bust. Every little thing that ever annoyed you, that you didn't agree with. It's so hard to do sometimes. Bu we really do have to go through with it or it'll just and up a really bad after taste in your mouth. You have to be straight up with your friends. If you're not then you're just keeping all your thoughts to yourself. That's not right, if they were your best friend then you should share everything with them. If youre as close as you say are then you could get through the rough patches. It takes things like that to strengthen something. Even a relationship, it doesn't have to be a friend. It could be family, a boyfriebd, a girldfriend, an associate.
      Don't keep everything bottled up. You're only hurting yourself.
