They tell me not to close my eyes,
They say I must not cry.
But water it escapes my lids,
And I do not now why.
Mom says they're just mean,
And all they say is lies.
But still I cannot help the tears,
That are running from my eyes.
They say that this is wrong,
The water on my face.
And I wonder why it's so bad,
Though it makes me a disgrace.
These harmless tears make them mad,
More hurtful words they say.
But what could water possibly do,
Against the words they speak today?
I don't know why they do this,
Or what they will say next.
But I know there's no reason,
Behind the written text.
One last drop before I stop,
I wipe away the tears.
No more crying is what happens now,
No crying for my fears.
