I don't Cry
August 16, 2014
I don’t cry
I’m too strong to cry.
I don’t cry.
I don’t let them win.
I shoulder everything.
On my own.
No need to burden others.
Right?
I don’t cry.
No matter how bad I want to.
No matter how much it hurts.
I don’t cry.
I just don’t.
But…
What…
What’s this?
What’s this on my cheek?
I don’t cry.
I’m too strong to cry.
But…
Maybe…
Maybe I’m not weak
If I shed a tear
Or two
Or a few.
Maybe…
Maybe I’ve been strong for too long.
Maybe…
Maybe I do cry.
