Crying

They roll down my face nearly everyday Do people really mean the words that they say The words they say That make me feel this way I wipe them away yet the sorrow remains I'm left with nothing Hopeless Knee down deep in pain They build back up in my eyes as I try to manage a smile Hoping that this one will last a long while Soon my smile is gone; have nothing but sadness Not even the slightest bit of light can bring me happiness Now they're falling down my cheeks like a smooth waterfall There's nothing I can do to try to stop them all If I smile again, then I must be lying Time to face the fact that I'm crying

Wow. I'm reading a lot of poems this morning with which I totally identify. This poem reminded of that song "It's all right to cry; crying gets the sad out of you" (don't recall the song title; I just remember those verses.) Kudos; great write, enjoyed this very much :)
