Let Me Cry

I want to scream but I dont,

I want to cry but I wont.

I want to be happy and smile,

but I just sit here with sadness for a while.

I know if I hold in my tears it would be worse,

but I'll hold it in with all my force.

I want to take my anger out but I stay quiet,

I want 2 throw things and start my own riot.

My passion is music and writing,

instead of throwing things crying or fighting.

Maybe ill show my tears, just maybe,

NO! Im a strong woman not a baby.

You ALL hurt me but I'll show no fear,

by the time you know it ima be gone forever, not just for 1 year.

I cant show you that im sad,

I cant give you that pleasure,

but its hard to hold this all in with all this pressure.

KARMA will get you for all the pain,

I will LAUGH once you hold your head down for all your shame.

Holding my tears back has coused ANGER & HATE,

but you would NEVER make it up,

its to mutha fuking late.

I will show you my AGONY, PAIN, and ANGER

and you would ask me "why?"

Its because

you didnt...... LET ME CRY
