I dry my tears with my own hand I dry my tears with my own hand because I don't like crying in front of people. I dry my tears with my own hand because nobody noticed I was crying anyway. I dry my tears with my own hand because asking for help feels heavier than the pain itself. I dry my tears with my own hand because I don't want to explain. I dry my tears with my own hand because I know no one else is going to. I dry my tears with my own hand because I've learned how to survive alone. My tears have only been seen by me since I was able to control them choosing when, where, how not to cry even if it means i break during the night. thoughts closed all day just so people wont see me break. Thinking to mutch i know there is no shame to have a working brain, but mine makes over hours Overthinking ever possible thing that I do and how it went, goes, could go wrong Feeling stuck in my own brain not knowing how to escape the fake reality I create. I dry my tears with my own hand because I don't know how to explain

Drying my own tears
I dry my tears with my own hand I dry my tears with my own hand because I don't like crying in front of people. I dry my tears with my own hand because nobody noticed I was crying anyway. I dry my tears with my own hand because asking for help feels heavier than the pain itself. I dry my tears with my own hand because I don't want to explain. I dry my tears with my own hand because I know no one else is going to. I dry my tears with my own hand because I've learned how to survive alone. My tears have only been seen by me since I was able to control them choosing when, where, how not to cry even if it means i break during the night. thoughts closed all day just so people wont see me break. Thinking to mutch i know there is no shame to have a working brain, but mine makes over hours Overthinking ever possible thing that I do and how it went, goes, could go wrong Feeling stuck in my own brain not knowing how to escape the fake reality I create. I dry my tears with my own hand because I don't know how to explain
