The Delirious, The Betrayed (song)

*verse1*
Boom Boom Boom
There goes the chaos swarming again.
Boom Boom Boom
The longer it’s held in, it gets stronger.
Boom Boom Boom
You wanna let it all out in the open,
But no!
Freedom’s hard to gain
And!
It’s never easy
To!
Come clean and say it loud!

*chorus*
Boom Boom Boom!
The emotions are wellin’ up
Moving closer to the breaking point!
Boom Boom Boom!
How sickening the feeling
Of drowning your true self in the shadows of your fear!
Boom Boom Boom!
But it’s never that easy
To get all the words out there
To get all your heart out there
I am trapped in the limbo
Of confusion and conflict!
Boom Boom Boom!!

*verse2*
Boom Boom Boom
The feeling consumes without mercy.
Boom Boom Boom
The longer it’s held back, it grows more dangerous.
Boom Boom Boom
I wanna let it all out in the open,
But no!
Freedom’s hard to gain
And!
It’s never easy
To!
Come clean and free yourself!

*chorus*
Boom Boom Boom!
The emotions are wellin’ up
Moving closer to the breaking point!
Boom Boom Boom!
How sickening the feeling
Of drowning your true self in the shadows of your fear!
Boom Boom Boom!
But it’s never that easy
To get all the words out there
To get all your heart out there
I am trapped in the limbo
Of confusion and conflict!
Boom Boom Boom!!

*bridge*
(LET IT OUT)
This heart of mine
(FREE YOURSELF)
I can’t help but wonder
(SAY IT NOW)
If it has just been
(SAVE YOURSELF)
Lying all this time

(LET IT OUT)
This heart of mine
(FREE YOURSELF)
I can’t help but wonder
(SAY IT NOW)
If it’s really just been
(SAVE YOURSELF)
Lying all this time…

Come out and declare yourself!

*chorus*
Boom Boom Boom!
The emotions are wellin’ up
Moving closer to the breaking point!
Boom Boom Boom!
How sickening the feeling
Of drowning your true self in the shadows of your fear!
Boom Boom Boom!
But it’s never that easy
To get all the words out there
To get all your heart out there
I am trapped in the limbo
Of confusion and conflict!
Boom Boom Boom!!

Come out, there’s nothin’ to fear!

About this poem:
Questioning one's sexuality is a painful, confusing experience, especially if you realize you aren't what you thought you'd be. Every time I thought "could I be a lesbian?", I'd get this tightness in my chest and feel like I might pass out due to the stress of it. (the "boom boom boom" parts kinda represent the quickening of a heartbeat during an anxiety attack) But I finally came out about all this, and it was liberating (hence the last line). That "sick" feeling almost completely went away, and for the first time in months, I felt at peace with myself.

This is the most recent song of mine. Hope you guys like! (I'll post a link to a MIDI of the melody soon)
