Poems

Crying

There’s a reason I can’t cry
Part of me just hears the lie
I think It’s weak and I’d be a baby
I gotta pretend I’m not hurt or crazy

When someone cries I envy them
They got a gift that I can’t have
It feels like I’m a machine inside
Not able to feel a single thing except pride.

It’s hard to reveal what I can’t feel
Until I do the tears won’t heal
When the feelings go from my head to my heart
I’ll be free to cry knowing God helped me start.

I will feel so healed inside
So long to all that pride
It’s a way for me to release
My pain is put to peace.
