Do you know what it’s like
To cry of hours for no reason? … I do
Just crying because it feels like
The only thingy you can do
Because no just one thing
Is worth crying over
But everything feels like it’s amounting
To something inside and needs to escape
Because it has nowhere else to go
Mouth closed
Who is there to talk to?
Ears blocked
Will they ever stop yelling?
Heart barricaded
Will it ever be in return?
Body frozen
What could I possibly do?
Eyes open
I can’t see the problem but the tears still come
Why does it feel so shameful
to cry, to weep, to sob, to ball my eyes out
To healthily express emotion
Do you know what it’s like
To feel like you’re a failure
For just being who you are? … I do
I failed my teachers
By making them think I was smart
I failed my parents
By trying to give them what they wanted
I failed my friends
By not being there when they needed me
I failed myself
When I tried to ignore
The pain I was causing myself
And these are small reasons as to why I cry
But to cry because it feels right
I don’t see the logic
