Don’t Cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

They will laugh at you

Silence your pain

They will stare at you

Smile

They will look away

You look so calm

You look so happy

You look so...fine

But in your head,

There are so many voices

They shout all at once

You cry

In your head

You scream a silent scream

Your eternally screaming

No wonder no one hears your shouts

Don’t show!

They will judge you

Keep your smile convincing

And

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

You cried.
