Holding in tears is like trying
To hold back the ocean
I can do it
No one needs to see me crying
Don't need to witness my emotion
So I can do it
Don't expose myself,
Don't show myself
Or they'll see
The imperfect me
I am not weak
I fight through the bleak
And crying doesn't make me stronger
Myself is what I conquer
Do I remember the last time I cried?
No, I'd sooner remember the last time I died
Cause I'd die before crying
I'd lie before trying
To let the tears out
And I can't be so relying
That I have to show
What's deep, deep inside me
In order to know
How to fight this insanity
It can't be right
To cry every night
It's got to be wrong
To tear up over a song
Everyone else can sob
And make it be their job
An obligation when their heart screams
As pointless as it seems
I can't really stand when
They expect me to weep
Call me heartless, I know
I don't expose what's deep
Not today or tomorrow
Not even to me
And it's fine, I can live
Without filling the sea
With salt water that travels
Through my heart, eyes, cheeks
You won't see my tears
'Cause I'm strong, and I'm weak
My heart's ocean is held back
By two eyelids that agree
Unleashing it is not the best
Me I decide I want to be
Do I remember the last time I cried?
No, I'd sooner remember the last time I died
Last night
When I didn't cry.

My Songs
PoetryPretty much... If I write a song I'll put it here. I've written music (on the piano) for some of these, and I'm working on others. In my opinion, the first few songs aren't as good as the ones I've written later on. Just saying. I have a list of my...
