Everything I Never Said...

Tears Don't Mean You're Losing

I cry to release all the pain, anger, and hurt built up inside

I cry when I realized I have no one by my side

When I cry my body starts to tremble like an earthquake

Because no matter how hard I try, I can't keep it all inside

I cover my mouth to mute the cries and screams for help

No one cares and I just need to accept it 

I curl up in a ball in hopes of comforting myself

Once I have stopped crying I just feel numb

Cold, like I don't exist, my pulse slowly beating

I used to think tears were a sign of weakness

That you were not strong enough to meet the standards of life

But tears are the sign of a warrior... And my fight isn't over yet
