Big girls don't cry!
That's what I've always been told.
I learned to keep my feelings
Hidden from the world---
No one was allowed to see,
No one would ever know of my pain...
"Crying is a sign of weakness"
Or so I was told---
Who said that?!?
My Mother?
My Father?
Did they even have any idea
Of what they were talking about?!?
I was very sad---
For so long---
I didn't know what happiness was!
I didn't know how to smile!
I never let anyone see the pain inside of me....
I was so depressed---
I had nowhere to turn---
I thought that life was
A game that people played---
I didn't want any part of it!
Some people think I'm cold and harsh---
They think that I have no Heart!
They see the outer shell---
They don't really know me....
I look outside
I see the rain
It looks like all of my tears!
They've been stored in a safe place----
Probably----
For many years!
Now---
The tears fall freely...
I cry just for the sake of crying!
I cry when I'm happy---
Cry when I'm sad---
And---
No one can tell me to stop!!!
