Veronica

When you cry

It feels like you die

Inside yourself

Because it shows everyone else

What you don’t want them to know

So you let it go

Trying to keep it in

Because you feel like it’s a sin

But it leaks

Making you feel weak

And scared

If you dare

To weep

You can’t keep

Your desire to be strong

For it feels wrong

To reveal your leak

Down your cheek
