Crying


When you want to cry

You don't know where to go

Don't know where to hide

Knowing those moments leading up

Those words or lack there of

Words which stay in the head

Which way to look

Way to be okay

To not be able to cry

Not wanting to shed a tear

Wanting nothing more

Nothing but what caused the tears

But what caused the tears

What caused the tears

Caused the tears

The tears

Tears

They say that time can heal all wounds. Yet, we are the only species that uses the concept of time. I use my words to help try to relieve the thoughts that run through my mind and my past that I never say I am running from but more so avoiding and pretending I have fully overcame it.
