Composure

Waiting there - calm, unconcerned,
Nervousness and excitement - buried,
Lying just beneath the surface,
Never shown on that face,
Held inside, ready to break,
All the feelings that can't be released.
Desperate to find a way out,
Longing for the freedom to live;
But instead caged inside the skin,
Hidden beneath the mask of composure.
