She can't help but cry
Though she doesn't know why;
She hates the way
She feels every other day
And the tears from her swollen eyes
She cannot help but cry,
Black mascara running down her cheeks-
She hasn't cried like this in weeks.
She wishes she weren't so depressed,
And she feels like a mess.
She hides her face
From the shame and disgrace
She knows from their worried stares-
She doesn't know why they care
Or try to understand
The scars covering her hands,
The tears clinging to her eyes
When she finally cries.
Her sadness stays
Though to be happy is all she prays
Between the sobs and wails-
Attempts to smile always fail.
She hates herself for the way
She makes others feel every day;
She thinks of all her tears and their cost-
Love is gone and friendship is lost
On this girl who cries
Though she doesn't know why.
The greatest pain is that she takes
From others; her heart breaks
To know the sadness her own has made;
Her breath escapes when she sees their happiness fade.
She hates herself and this guilt-
Like a flower, she slowly wilts;
Their worry and pain her rain,
She knows her sadness may never wane
And she still may cry-
She remembers when she did not know why
And the sadness was all her own-
She feels so alone
To know what her tears have done
Even though she is just one.
She cries,
Though she doesn't know why.
They say it is all in her head,
And she wishes that she were dead-
That she could drown in the tears she cries
Even when she doesn't know why.
she cries
