Don't Cry

Don’t Cry

It’s not that bad

You’ll get over it

Crybaby

I don’t see why your upset

Don’t cry

Now these words didn’t have a direct topic but somewhere in your mind something came up

And it hurts you

Its hurts that we can’t cry

That we must hold back the tears

Until it’s all over

Why can’t we cry?

Why can’t we let go of all emotion?

Why does it have to sit?

Bottled up inside us

Until one day we explode

And that bottle

Goes to shards

Shards that fly everywhere

And jab into your heart

And when you explode

All the blame goes to you

“well why didn’t you tell me”

Why didn’t you ask?

“why are you depressed so much?”

I wish I could answer that

“Don’t cry”

“tone it down a bit”

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

How about don’t tell me not to cry

Don’t tell me its not worth crying about

Because to you, it seems silly

To you it seems like nothing

But to me

To my emotions

I feel the bottle exploding inside me

Like a volcano

So, when a tear goes down my cheek

When I ball up into a corner and put my head down

Don’t tell me not to cry

Because that will make me cry more

At the thoughts in my mind

And your stupidity
