Timeout

 I am not defeated

I am just taking a timeout

I will be up again

Till there is a knockout


My eyes are dry

I don't cry

But they hold an ocean of tears

Because I don't emote my fears


My face is pale

It doesn't hold a stress line

I act as if I am alright

And everything is fine 

But my heart is crowded 

With a million emotions

Each worth a thunderlike scream

That finds an outlet only in my dreams


I am  sitting among friends

But I am very lonely

Don't my demeanor fool you

I am holding a storm within me
