Why Cry?

by KiyaE_

Troubles are passing, with no one to listen Look at the stars , see how they glisten. but will the stars be there to hear your pain, for the stars will fade in the appearance of rain. Why cry when no one cares to understand how you feel, they leave you there like an unpleasant deal. Why cry when there is no emotion to be shown , you've been wiped of feelings and now they're all gone. When you face your fears and swallow the tears, the thought of your weary has been washed away. Why cry, when things are a lot better and its a greater day.
