I Want To Cry

I WANT TO CRY Shreds of a broken life Pieces unfulfilled A genius unknown Destined to be alone Do we cry? Tears have been shed Do we grieve? Grief is the reality Sadness lurks Behind the cheery façade Joy is a dream unfulfilled Loneliness; a permanent companion Eyes brimming with unshed tears As the soul weeps with abandon A square peg in a round hole Never complete, never whole Just plodding through Wading through life I want to cry I really want to weep Perhaps my soul will be unburdened Freed from the pain of suppression Please help me cry; These unshed tears are a burden Should I pierce my eyes with nails? So perhaps I can bleed tears? I want to cry…. I want to cry…. I want to cry
