I forced the tears out to be spoiled A little girl everyone was used to It was only a fuss It was only water with salt And then i brought on a thousand headaches Whining Screaming Yelling I knew how to make mom and dad crazy I didnt know; I just knew how to get my way Older; A little distant now The tears were made out of selfishness Things became thrown Doors were slamming My way, or no way; I knew how to yell I knew how to scream I knew how to silence everyone until i came home The tears came out for nothing A little weaker now My eyes; Wide open I introduced a weapon Now i learned how to really cry for something Broken thoughts became tinier And then the cuts turned into scars I needed an escape Sorrow had replaced happiness now Not when i was a baby Not when i was a little girl Memories remain Pictures remain And my tears drown me with pain I felt so alone But i loved being alone And then suddenly i knew what alone really meant; So then i understood what crying was really about I broken heart, A broken soul A dead heart, A dead soul A goodbye forever A hello to my fears As i wake from my nightmares, I cannot see My eyes are shut tight And then i became scared to open up to see I couldnt breathe Drenched with sweat, i was going crazy And then i felt the tears again Now im out of control; i bleed The harm i force on myself, I just want myself to leave As i release such hateful tears, The mirror i stare into shatters my body and makes me broken I learned how to bleed; I learned another way to cry The fears have taken over now My mind became my enemy now The past that was broken never got repaired Now is when I memorized what crying is As i close my eyes i think of what i have done, what i lost, and what i continue to do Hyperventilation, Anxiety, Depression, Moodswings, Self-mutilation The tears from my childhood didnt make me understand; It made be spoiled and silenced Now i understand, Now i learned I learned how to cry the hard way For pain For loss For scars For the past For harm For memories For the blood i lost when i couldnt cry anymore
