Tearful Inside
tearful inside
as i crawl through phases
of my life's illusion
do i feel run over by stress
or is it just delusion?
why do i think getting ahead
serves no purpose
next week another calamity
will surely surface
depression lies deep inside as
problems mount
caused by relationships, family
or bank account
my worries run so deep, i can
never reveal my dread
pessimism surrounds each thought
in my pounding head
the trepidation i have invades
my judging ability
which causes me to act with
senseless hostility
the men in my family possess
no external emotions
so any allusion of struggle
will label me as broken
so i will suffer invariably
with forced laughter
while crying from the inside
for now and hereafter
