I Cry Everyday, Now With No Tears

I CRY EVERYDAY... NOW WITH NO TEARS

But now...
I cry everyday...now with no tears
Trickling down my cheeks like my first year 
We are on count of the fourth year... wedlock
I made up my mind to dry my tears from within
For my man enjoys those tears from me
Considered to be weak and indeed a weaker vessel
So, I now cry within ... with no tears outside
Am I becoming a strong woman now?
At least for my son whom I cherish so much
My son who by now sees my tears as normal
But within my heart, I know am not strong 
I know am embittered 
Tortured psychologically
Raped mentally
Then, I wish
And I wish I wake up from this dreadful dream
