Sadness In My Heart

Tears that I cry
Is from the pain inside
Where should I hide?
Because it hurts to cry
 
When I think of my mom
I know that she’s gone
She was the beat in my heart
To help me carry on
 
Laughs are at times bitter
Not full of joyful expressions
Mind full of fire and rage
That exists in my hearts suppression
 
I don’t wish to die
But there’s a scar
Something eternal  
To what makes my heart cry
 
It may be the past
That brings back painful memories
All the mistakes that I’ve made
Is my heart suffering the penalty?
 
I truly desire a better life
For my family and I
To grow closer through love
To reach for heaven in the sky
 
But times my heart is sad
Some days I cry
I wish I could know this pain
Can anyone tell me why?
