CRY

You hide behind your smile,
But your eyes tell more than you’ll ever know.
You laugh to help fight away the tears
That lay in the wings, ready to fall.
You hide your pain so well,
I am almost in awe of you.
You hold your head up and smile,
Even with the weight of world on your back.

Please cry,
Just once so I can wipe the tears from your face.
Cry,
So I can see that you too are human.
Cry,
So that there will be no more hurt in your eyes.
Cry, cry away all the pain others have caused you.

The mask you wear is starting to truly fade away,
And the real you is emerging.
You are sensitive and caring - is sensitive not cool?
Is that why you can’t bear to let others know how you feel?
Please cry, if not to let the pain go,
Cry, so you can be yourself.
