I do not cry

I do not cry

I will tell you why.

When you’re broken like me

Then you will see

You have no tears

Because of painful years

People yelling

People telling

Lies after lies

Not so wise

You push me away

Even to this day

I can’t take it

I need to vent for a bit

Do you have time

To be a friend of mine

Do you care

If I just sit and stare

I’m not disturbed

Just mentally perturbed

I’m not prepared

For the mentally unaware

For the simple tragedy

Of what it is that may be.
