In the dark I let the tears flow.
I can't help it.
They drift slowly lazily down my cheaks.
It is the dark like a blanket that reassures me that nobody can see me
crying. That no one can hear me sniffling.
I clench my teeth and will it to stop.
I can explain away my emotions as a bad day. As discouragement.
But I know it is deeper than that.
As I watch the twinkling lights go by through the window I pull myself together and wipe my running mascara. I will move on like I always do.
Cuz crying will get you no where.
Even if it feels good to indulge.
I close my eyes exhausted and hope to G-d I have the strength to overcome all of life's challenges.
Watching it shrivel and fade away,
ReplyDeletea sneer gives way,
to a content smile, one of joy,
he's after all a little boy.
He didn't hear its calls of pain,
see the tears pouring down the drain.
Shut it all out of his brain,
some would even call him insane.
It is however up to debate,
is it wrong to fight with fate.
Sometimes all you can do is hate,
it lead to things becoming great.
I don't get it. Did you write this?
