Tears

Nobody can sympathize what I’m going through,

No one can even try.

At school I’m bouncy and peppy,

But when I get home I cry.

I cry because I am lonely,

Because no one understands.

I cry cuz I saw my best guy friend

With another girl, holding hands.

I cry from confusion—what the heck is going on?

Why do I deserve this? What did I do wrong?

I cry out of frustration, exhaustion, and of pain.

I cry since most of my hope has swirled down the drain.

If tears really wash you clean, I’m as white as snow.

Just one question, God- Are you still with me?

I really need to know.
