I Cry Sometimes


I cry sometimes because I’m human too I cry sometimes because there is nothing else to do I cry sometimes because I can’t hold it all in I cry sometimes because everyone doesn’t get a happy end I cry sometimes because smiling all the time hurts I cry sometimes because putting on a front is a lot of work I cry sometimes because in this big world I feel all alone I cry sometimes because I don’t know if I live in a house or a home I cry sometimes because my nightmares are starting to become real I cry sometimes because this is something I can’t fix or heal I cry sometimes because the pain hurts too much I cry sometimes because I can’t always be tough I cry sometimes because I lost a piece of my heart I cry sometimes because this baggage is hard to cart I cry sometimes because pictures, names, and faces is all I see I cry sometimes because my past won’t let me be I cry sometimes because I can’t stop what’s going on I cry sometimes because it gets harder everyday to right this wrong I cry sometimes because this is my reality I cry sometimes because I see the tunnel out before the car pileup causality
