Cry
I don't cry because my tears are shy, so instead I just laugh and lie.
I don't cry because it makes me mad,why cry because I feel sad.
Why let my feelings show by alowing my salty, bitter tears to flow.
When I cry it doesn't help, because when i'm done it doesn't change the way I felt.
I don't like my feelings to be shown so when I cry, I cry alone.
Why let someone see me shed a tear when all they will do is pretend they care.
then tell me what they think I need to hear.
Sometimes I cry before I sleep, but then I wipe the tears up off my cheek,
because all they do is make me feel weak.I don't want to cry,
the tears may never end and why cry if it won't put my heart back to mend.
So when I want to cry i'll just sigh and keep the tears deep inside,
so I can look strong on the outside.When i'm sad and mad i'll dwell on my own.
Tears just show how I feel and my pain noone can heal.
So if I showed people how I realy felt,
they couldn't be any real help.
SO WHY CRY?
