Shout It Out

Bend it.
Break it.
Take my heart
squeeze and ache it.

Put me up.
Tear me down.
Wear your smile.
I'll wear my frown.

Make fun.
Have fun.
Either way,
you've won.

Shout it out
So I can hear.
But shout it out
in the mirror.

Does it sound
good to you?
Do you even
have a clue?

Leave me out,
and let them in.
Now where
do I begin?

Shake my fears
out of me.
Cover my mouth
so I can't breathe.

Hold it shut.
Hold it tight.
Hold it there
with all your might.

Shut me up.
Shove me down.
I'm better off
when I hit the ground.
