I'm trying not to cry

because crying

makes me feel weak

Crying,

makes me feel like

I told my body a secret

my brain told me to keep

The tears show that I'm a liar

I lied

Told myself things were fine

but they're not.

And the worst kind of crying,

Is when your brain is begging

you not to

But the heart knows

you have to

And you do

You cry and cry and cry

Your brain says nothing

in defeat

And after you cry

You feel weak
