Being a Teen

They left her standing on a corner crying Feeling like a fool for trying. Tears burnt her cheeks as they rolled down, and for a moment, just a moment, She didn't have to pretend she was okay. She's tired of crying She's tired of trying She's tired of lying She's tired of crying. She's tired of yelling. She's tired of being sad. She's tired of pretending. She's tired of being alone. She's tired of being angry. She's tried of feeling stuck She's most of all, she's just tired of being tired. Sure, she is may be smiling But inside, she's dying. Don't Judge her Crying Is Easier Than Fighting. She's me.
