Feelings

My therapist says I stuff my feelings And keep them all locked down So I don't feel them Twenty years of numbness Has felt just fine to live with She said to write it down as my homework Put a pen to paper and embrace the hurt I've been unpacking it But it still feels like I'm just doing my best Working the steps Less fake smiling Who knew that emotions could rack up a tab Just a hundred an hour to not feel quite as bad I just hope that this thing people call healing Makes its way to me and my feelings You can call this my mental health to do list Let's start with depression Man, ain't she a gem And anxiety has been a best friend to me I'm just doing my best Working the steps Less fake smiling Who knew that emotions could rack up a tab Just a hundred an hour to not feel quite as bad I just hope that this thing people call healing Makes its way to me and my feelings Tired of the I'm fine act You would think it's a trend People put on a show that's worth a Streep Oscar win We're all hiding the truth Lonely in the same room We're just doing our best Working the steps Less fake smiling Who knew that emotions could rack up a tab Just a hundred an hour to not feel as bad I just hope that this thing people call healing Makes its way to me and my feelings
