Cry
grow up
get over it
stop crying
be strong
chin up
man up
don't cry
don't cry
DONT
CRY
why not?
I wear a mask during the day
and reveal these bloodshot eyes as night
Tough exterior
because it's what society tells me is right
wake up tired because of my emotional fight
i built up emotions
emotions
that developed
from a 9 year old to a
19 year old
that same innocence on the inside
wanting
to capture the hearts of many
but finding it hard to grow roses
on a concrete wall
finding often that my life
is no different than a
long
white
empty hall
feeling sad
like a crack faced porcelain doll
humans are emotional creatures
yet we feel the need to shield out emotions
with plastic features
hard and cold to touch
repelling anything that dares to jeopardize
dreading the day when something actually makes you
Cry
I don't mean tear tear sniff sniff
I mean that face in pillow cry
that i can't stop it cry
that spine curving, fetal position, rock back and forth cry
thats get down on your knees and pray cry
that cry with sobs that no one dares to let hit the air
because thats revealing to the world that there's a human being under there
some where
that cries
THAT
CRIES
what we fails to realize
is that crying is a stress relieving exercise
it can heal wounds
a wound needs air to heal
covering it with a bandage does nothing
but preserve it
release your emotions
let them run free
be
Live
love
and Cry
