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
