Shedding Tears

I can’t shed tears when I’m scared.

I can’t shed tears when I’m hurt.

I can’t shed tears when I’m sad.

I can’t shed tears when I’m happy.

I can’t shed tears when everybody’s around me.

I can’t show my feelings and shed tears, I can’t shed my tears in front of my family.

At nights my right eye shed a tear while the left refuse to shed tears.

I hold these emotions within me until my heart aches, my head hurts, and when my eyes dry out of soreness.

No one ever knows about it, no one questions it, no one cares about me as I’m coming of age alone with people who would tell me to grow.

I want to cry.

I want to cry tears of sadness.

I want to cry tears of joy.

I want to cry tears of hurt.

I want to cry tears of fright.

They were times when others noticed my shaded tear on my right face they would hold me when I can let out all of my tears I hold for so long.

At nights my right eye shed a tear while the left refuse to shed tears.

I hold these emotions within me until my heart aches, my head hurts, and when my eyes dry out of soreness.

I can’t shed tears when I’m scared.

I can’t shed tears when I’m hurt.

I can’t shed tears when I’m sad.
 
I can’t shed tears when I’m happy.

I can’t shed tears when everybody’s around me.
