Now it's all:
"Are you crying?"
No, I just got watery eyes and put a frown on my face and felt my heart break.
People are disgusted by this.
I'm sorry I'm trying to release my negative energy,
My horrible thoughts,
My aching sadness,
And this is the only way I can do it.
Otherwise, it's frowned upon and I'm talking to a therapist.
Please stop, you don't understand.
So now,
Tell me,
If I'm not allowed to hurt myself,
And I'm not allowed to fucking cry,
How am I supposed to release all of this sadness that's trapped inside?
But these tears are like beatings.
Why does it have to hurt this way?
Why does it have to end this way?
