Tears only fall in the shower
Because there's nowhere else to turn
No shoulder longing
The damp stamp of tears
Tears only fall in the shower
Because she has to be strong
Be strong for the family,
Be strong for herself.
Tears only fall in the shower
Because it's hard holding up a house
With a crumbling
Interior
Tears only fall in the shower
Because the yelling is so loud
The no one hears them
Anywhere else
Tears only fall in the shower
Because right there
It doesn't look
Like you finally gave up; gave in
Tears only fall in the shower
Because no one else is there
To watch her fall into the pressure
Of everyone else
Tears only fall in the shower
Because sometimes
She can't let them fall
Anywhere else

imagine this being so personal that you cry while rereading it
