Don'T Tell Me Not To Cry

DON’T TELL ME NOT TO CRY Please don’t tell me not to cry Don’t tell me there is no reason why You do not know what I am feeling How my mind is constantly reeling You don’t understand the way that I hurt How I feel worthless, like a pile of dirt I know I should get on with my life Let it go, forget about it, end my strife Well you see, there lays the catch My mind ignores all common sense My head won’t let me listen and pay heed It just plays tricks on my heart that hurts and deceives This blackness that seeps across my heart and mind Make it impossible to shelter my weary mind I am lost, scared and I feel alone There is no one to turn to, the seeds have been sown All I ever do is make mess after mess And I have to tell you, I must confess I am not smart enough to deal with this But I am not brave enough to slit my wrists I am not clever enough to understand I am sure not worth enough to hold my hand I am not rich enough to run away and hide Not strong enough to turn this tide Trapped within this living nightmare in my head I truly wonder if I would be better off dead GDC2014
