Hidden Tears

This is the story of a girl
who’s forgotten what it feels like to cry.
When asked why she’s become so cold
she doesn’t know how to reply.

Inside her soul is weeping
but on the outside she seems collected.
Numbed from all the lonely nights
when she felt neglected.

No body’s ever seen her cry
they say she doesn’t know pain.
But when alone inside her room
her thoughts she can’t sustain

So much hurts, and no one knows
the ways in which her hearts aching
All this pain built up inside
she’s reaching the point of breaking.

But forever her tears are hidden
forever they are concealed
Her fake smile is her protection
from emotions she try’s to shield.

Why cant this young girl breakdown
why can’t people see her weak?
She searches for words within herself
but silence is all that speaks.

No words seem to describe her grief
so quietly she must remain
When she try’s to say how she feels
she’s silenced by her shame.

Depressing is this story
of a young girls lacerated heart
She want’s to remember how to cry
but she doesn’t know where to start.

These hurts remain within
as she’s locked in anguish’s grasp
Trying her hardest to breathe
she struggles for her last gasp

All she wants is to let it go,
let go of what hurts so deep
Thirsting for the ability
To be able to break down and weep.

This is the story of a girl
who’s held backs so many tears.
When asked why she’s become so cold
she reply’s “ because I’ve given in to my fears.”
