We Cry

We cry, 
For help, for attention, 
For an explanation we know we'll never get
For the loss of a dear one
Or even when we fall

We cry,
Our tears hit like bullets
Our eyes get red and puffy
Our noses get stuffed
But yet, we continue to cry

We cry, 
People apologize.... like we WANT to hear it
People dont always give a "crap" what we feel
But then there are those who care too much
Who try too hard to stop those tears we cry
Which in the end just make us cry even harder

We cry
We ask why
We cry
We mourn
We cry 
We die
