All I Want to Do is Cry

After hiding behind that fake smile and pretending for so long I want to take my mask off and just let the tears run down my cheeks I don't want to be strong anymore I don't want to be an actor anymore I don't want to say the same old lie again I can't say that I'm ok anymore All I want to Do is Cry now to be weak for once All I want to do is to let the river flow and let my emotions show to be myself truly not hiding or bottling up the storm that is inside me just for once I want to let the raindrops fall from my eyes to let all my demons out and cleanse my soul to finally let myself heal I have been cut down too many times I had to hide the red lines that has been driven in my soul and in my arms But why won't anyone let me cry for once
