Cry.

Cry out in grief, let your tears flow.
Allowing that release,
That pain you never show.

Cry in despair,
That pain that doesn’t cease
But no one seems to care.

Cry in misery, screaming.

Scream.

Scream in anger
Punching your bed
Everything starts to blur

Scream in fear
It’s getting to your head
Those things you can’t un-hear

Scream until your scream becomes a whimper.

Whimper.

Whimper on your bed
Wiping away tears
You start to pretend.

Pretend.

Pretend you are okay.
Because you are strong,
You’ll live another day.
